Help**elysa's international story congrats** round 1
Okay round 1! :)
Here are your options: (fyi: I've changed the naming rules around a bit!)
1. It has been 2 years since your couple got married. They wanted to have children right away, but had fertility problems and it took 2 years to conceive. They were so happy when they found out that they were having triplets! All three babies (two boys and a girl) were born healthy and after a short stay in the hospital are home with their overjoyed parents! Naming Rules: Their fn's must mean happy, cheerful, joy, or something similar and their mn's should honor the parents.
2. Your couple did not plan on it, but they got pregnant during their honeymoon! They were a little unprepared, but still happy! The pregnancy went very well and their new baby girl was born exactly on her due date. Naming Rules: Her fn should be the name of the couple's honeymoon destination and her mn should be a popular name from your couple's country.
3. The opportunity was presented to your couple to adopt a little boy from the city you live in. He is 5 years old and very shy. Because there is no language barrier and he still lives in the city he has grown up in, he bonds very quickly to his new parents! Your couple loves their new son very much and was very happy when they found out they would be giving him a little brother! After a very healthy 9 months your second son is born! Your adopted child loves his baby brother and your couple couldn't be happier! Naming Rules: Your AS's fn and mn should be a popular name in the country your couple is from. Your DS's fn should start with the same letter as your AS and his mn is your choice.
~~~~~~~~
Rules:
-You must choose a country different from your own. (preferably one you haven't used before)
-You must write something for each round! (How much or little is up to you)
-Try to include interesting things about the culture from the country you choose.
-All names must come from the country you choose, unless otherwise stated.
-You must keep up with ages! (I will not)
-Feel free to post pictures! :)

Zan and Eleanor spent a wonderful two weeks in Fiji for their honeymoon! It was very romantic and everything they dreamed it would be. However, about a month later Eleanor was not feeling right, so she went to the doctor and sure enough she found out she was pregnant! She and Zan were not expecting to have a baby so soon, but they were very excited! The pregnancy went very well and their tiny baby girl was born exactly on her due date! They named her Fiji Yi Jiang. Fiji after their honeymoon and Yi because it means "cheerful" which their little daughter is all the time!

That's okay! You can edit the story lines however you need to! The options are more to help with a general outline, they don't have to be the whole story! For example, for option 1 your couple could decide to use a surrogate (a sister, friend, stranger, or whatever!) but there were some fertility problems and it took longer than expected, or you could just say they did it and ended up with triplets! Option 2 would be the only one that wouldn't quite work, but you can change it around any way you want to make it work! :)

The Saise-Pascoe Family
UN: Siân
Country: Wales (which I know nothing about, but I like the names.)
LN: Saise-Pascoe
DH: Llywelyn Meredith Wynn (25)
DH: Siôr Enfys (26)
AS: Emrys Roan (5)
AS: Eifion Jac (1)
Disclaimer: I don’t know the popularity of names strictly in Wales. It only seen popularity lists combine Wales with England. So I went back though the Welsh birth announcements that Pie posts on the Opinion Boards every so often and have a list of them to use for the game. The names will mostly come from those.
“I can’t believe we did that,” Siôr breathes as he lies in bed staring at the ceiling. It’s too dark for him to see it.
“Having second thoughts?” Llywelyn asked. Siôr shook his head as if Llywelyn could see it. (He heard it more than anything.)
“No, just shocked that we went through with it.” Siôr replied. “Parenthood seems to foreign. And it‘s scary to think that they‘ll be watching us and checking our backgrounds and everything. I mean, shouldn‘t they do that with biological children too? See if the parents are fit to be parents. I think it would be good.”
Llywelyn laughed lightly. “It would be. I know some people who deserved better homes growing up.”
“Exactly.” Siôr nodded. He curled on his side and faced Llywelyn in the darkness. It was becoming easier to see now. He just watched Llywelyn for a moment in the darkness. “What if the agency doesn’t find us fit for it? What if it‘s too odd of a situation we‘re already in?”
Llywelyn reached and took Siôr’s hand. “Placing anybody in a situation and expecting them to immediately belong is crazy, but you have to give everyone a chance. I‘m sure the agency knows that.”
Siôr gets the feeling they’re talking about more than adoption now, but doesn‘t say anything.

When they were first invited in to meet Emrys, he was playing alone on a carpet in the corner. Plenty of other children were off meeting prospective parents, but little Emrys sat with his back to the wall and a book in his lap. Siôr almost missed him.

Last year the Office of National Statistics produced a separate 'top 100' for England, one for Wales and combined England & Wales one, this was the first time they'd done this (usually they only produced the combined one).
If you go http://tinyurl.com/34q4yqu and click to open the files '2008 Boys'/Girls' Baby Names by country, region and month', the third sheet in each file is a Top 100 for Wales for 2008. The 2009 data isn't out yet.

Tiago and Julianne share a passion for helping the needy so they were happy for the opportunity to adopt a Brazilian orphan. They weren't expecting to get pregnant so soon after the adoption, but it turned out that the new baby was perfect at drawing Caetano into the family and making him feel important and belonging. Carson (a carefully chosen name that is not Portuguese/Brazilian but is easily pronounceable in Portuguese) adores his big brother, and Caetano is very attentive to him.

After their wedding, Aurelien and Liadan honeymooned in both the Spanish and French Basque Country, taking in the culture and the beautiful sights. They especially fell in love with the village of Ainhoa, the last stop on their tour, with beautiful little houses and a breathtaking beach and views of the Pyrenees. They had a particularly passionate night there, and a few weeks after they get back, Liadan feels dizzy, tired, and nauseous. Thinking she had caught a bug or eaten some bad food, she went to the doctor, who confirmed that she was pregnant! Aurelien and Liadan were surprised--Liadan was on birth control and they hadn't planned on having children for a while--but were nonetheless excited to be parents. Exactly on her due date, Liadan gave birth to a baby girl named after the village they loved so much, although they were never quite sure if she was concieved there.

Vitaly and Kira certainly didn't think that after only a year of marriage, that they would be parents of not one, but two little boys! Two months after they were married, Vitaliy found a little boy wandering the streets while he was at work. He brought the boy home and Kira took care of him. When his parents couldn't be found, she and Vitaliy adopted the boy, whose name is Andrey. Three weeks after Andrey came to live with them, Kira found out she was pregnant. Of course, that put stop to her career as a dancer, at least for the time being. For nine months, she devoted herself to making sure Andrey had all the love and attention she needed, and when Alexei was born, the entire family fell in love with him. Andrey loves his little brother, and can't wait until Kira has more "little brothers" for him to play with. Vitaliy is very busy at work, taking on more hours to make ends meet; however, he is happy.
