Nyx' Choose-Your-Own-Adventure KUY CAF - Round 4
Ok, the rules are pretty simple, I'll be providing two or more options, and you follow the "adventure" that suits you best. Each "adventure" will have it's own set of naming rules for that round. Stories are optional, but always enjoyed and encouraged :) Ages are optional, and you keep track of them yourself. I'll provide links to each previous round, so you can quickly find your family.Note: Just because your chose Adventure # in one round doesn't mean that you are stuck with that # for every other round. Each round you can chose your own adventure (hence, the name).Signups: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3913184&board=game

Adventure 1:
With all of the changes in your family, your couple has decided that there will be no more children. Hubby is supposed to go to the doctor for the simple "snip" procedure, but always manages to find some reason to put it off.

DD: Her FN is an unusual/different floral/gemstone/color/avian/virtue (some ideas here: http://nameberry.com/blog/2009/07/12/newer-names-in-older-categories-fresh-florals-and-varied-virtues/) and the kids helped pick out here hyphenated (or two) MNs.Adventure 2:
Your couple just loves their growing family and can't wait to have another child. Less then a year after the adoption, they are expecting again.
DS: His FN is a food/spice/plant. If his FN is 5 letters or less, his MN is 7 letters or more. If his FN is 6 letters or more, his MN is 2-4 letters.Adventure 3:
It took some time, but your couple has finally hit the ground running. They wouldn't change their family for anything, except maybe to add one more. Four years down the road they welcome (yet another?) twins into the family.
DC/DC: (you chose the Children's gender - Same or different, your choice). Their FN is related to music (it could even be a name heard in a song... (http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/songs/). The MN is a month/day/time/season/etc.

Your couple grew up as next door neighbors. As children, they were often seen running around one house or the other. It's no surprise that they became a couple.The couple finished high school, and then finished college. They've gotten good jobs and are pretty much settling into life. Their first daughter was a surprise, but very welcomed.Being a parent (and maybe holding down a job) was harder then the couple thought it would be. For many years they considered their child(ren) an/their only child(ren). However, almost 5 years later and they finally feel like they have their feet back under them and want another child. Wouldn't you know it, they have twins!Your spouse has just lost their only sibling, and last living adult relative. The deceased has left behind their children to your care, a 7 year-old girl and her 2 year-old little brother.With all of the changes in your family, your couple has decided that there will be no more children.

Your couple never met until he moved into the neighborhood in high school. At first, they butted heads because she felt that he was too popular and good looking to have anything else to offer. The final month of school changed all of that, and they fell madly in love with each other.Round 1:

Adventure 1...With their six children, Sunny and Jamie definately didn't want any more children. They considered their family perfect with three girls and three boys, and they definately had their hands full. Sunny was on birth control, but she kept pushing Jamie to get a vasectomy. It was more certain, she said, and both safer and more practical than her getting her tubes tied. But Jamie was always skittish about knives and kept putting it off. They were careful, but then Sunny came down with pneumonia. She was extremely sick and in critical condition for a few days. She out of work for over a month and in the hospital for over two weeks. After she was finally better, she and Jamie had a very emotional moment when he admitted to her how scared he had been, and how he couldn't imagine life without her. That moment turned quite intimate, and with the antibiotics making her birthcontrol shot ineffective, neither were surprised when Sunny discovered she was pregnant. The family was glad, though they hadn't planned on any more children, and Sunny and Jamie let the kids help pick her name.

The family grew close and is a very tight knit unit which is why they chose the name Larke. Lark birds are a close family just like the Kincaids. They children helped pick out a middle name Max, Roxie and Leo picked Maura to be after Roxie and Leos mom Morgan and Everly and Killian choose Opal the babies birth stone. Emmett wanted Verity and we agreed if any more babies come he gets first pick.
