Nyx' Choose-Your-Own-Adventure KUY CAF - Round 2
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 will not be killing off any family members in this game, but you may chose to do so yourself. I'll provide links to each previous round, so you can quickly find your family. You can chose to sign up and join at any time, just work your way to the current round.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).Sign Up: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3928485&board=game
Round 1: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3929172&board=game
Your couple may chose to have as many children as feasible on any particular round, or chose to stay as they are for the round. If you want to, you may chose to change any DS/DD to an AS/AD. The naming rules still apply, and as much of the story as you can make work.Please add 6 years to the ages of your current family
Adventure 1:
Wow, it's hard to believe that you are having another child already! Your DH was so pleased to find out that it was boy that you let him pick out the name. As a result, the name is very much a unique creation, but it has great meaning for your DH and you are sure that your child will love it also.
DS: _____ _____ (5)
His FN/MN comes from the following lists: http://nameberry.com/list/136/Military-Names?page=1 or http://nameberry.com/list/258/Coolest-Names-That-Arent-Really-Names or http://nameberry.com/list/261/Too-Cool-Names or http://nameberry.com/list/228/Video-Game-Names-for-Boys. You may only use each list once (so if you use the Too Cool Names list for the FN, then you can't use that list for a MN.)Adventure 2:
Your DW and DH were surprised to find out that they were expecting twins shortly after the birth of their last child. When the two were born, the infants were about as opposite as could be. One had a little dark hair and was quiet, the other had a head full of curly pale hair and was as loud as any infant ever thought of being.

The twins were in school by the time he was born so Violet didn't find it too stressful having 4 under 5s to look after. A year after Romeo was born Violet fell pregnant again! It came as a shock but Violet loved having another newborn. Isobel was extremely happy to have a sister!

Sign Up:
Landon MacDougal & Vienna York were the high school quarterback and the captain of the cheerleading squad, they were highschool royalty, but they both had very humble ambitions. Growing up in a small town they loved, they knew that they didn't want to head off to college or anything like that, it just wasn't for them. Straight out of high school they got married and Landon opened his own garage while Vienna is more than happy being a Wife and eventually a Mom.Round 1:
Vienna had always wanted to be a Mom so she and Landon started trying for children not long after their wedding. They were thrilled to discover they were expecting and set about to prepare for their child. It was at their 20 week scan however that they discovered that they were in fact expecting TWINS! They were understandably terrified but now that Noah & Josh are here they're so thrilled to have such handsome identical twin boys.Round 2:
Wow time goes fast! Landon's garage is thriving, and Vienna loves nothing more than being able to just stay at home with her babies. Noah & Landon are off at school now, the next generation of MacDougal's terrorising the school systems as the teachers like to jest as they fondly remember what a little hell-raiser Landon himself once was. That leaves little Paige, or Sunny as most call her because of her perpetually sunny disposition. Paige is a bright, smiling, joyful little girl whom everyone adores.

DS/DD: Albert Balthazar Rollins / Flora Susan Rollins (4)
DD: Georgiana Venice ‘Georgie’ Rollins (1)
Sign-Ups:
Rex and Daphne Rollins met at a political speech – Rex was there to support the candidate speaking; Daphne was there to protest every stance the candidate took. They got to talking (well, debating, really) after the speech and realized that, aside from their political differences, they actually had a lot in common. And, while they might not agree with each other on political issues, they could respect each other’s views and passion.Round One:
When Daphne began getting sick in the mornings only a few months into their marriage, Rex and Daphne were sure that she just had the flu! When it persisted, they finally decided to get Daphne to a doctor. Both were shocked that she was already pregnant, but they were also overjoyed! Of course, naming their daughter was a challenge. Rex wanted something classy, like Vivian; Daphne wanted something a little more creative, like Amethyst. Finally, they were able to agree.Round Two:
Daphne and Rex felt a little overwhelmed when they discovered that Daphne was pregnant again shortly after Vi turned one-year-old! And they were even more overwhelmed when they found out that they were expecting twins! Luckily, at least Albert seemed to be quiet; unluckily, Flora has very powerful lungs. These personalities have carried through their lives, so far. Albert prefers to be observant and, when forced to speak, barely whispers. Flora prefers to jabber and has no problem striking up conversations with random strangers.Rex and Daphne were feeling good about their family when Daphne realized that she was expecting, again! Little Georgie was named after Rex’s recently-deceased grandmother and after Daphne’s favorite city in the world.

When Caleb and Josiah were two years old, little Aidyn Scorpio Story was born. Louis insisted on naming this little one on his own. Nikki allowed him to, and as a result they little son got the name Aidyn Scorpio Story. Scorpio fit, because he was born on November twelfth, so his birth "sign" is Scorpio. Only a year after Aidyn was born, another set of twins came along! Sandy and Percy, boy-girl twins, are exact opposites. Sandy had a full head of light curly hair and was rather loud and obnoxious, his darling brown eyes always twinkling and adventurous. Percy had a very light bit of dark brown hair and was rather quiet, her blue-green eyes always looking almost sad. At the age of two, Sandy and Percy got a little brother! Benny was named by Nikki, who chose the name Abednego Felix Neptune for her fifth son. Now, at the age of two, Benny has twin sisters who were just born! Another set of twins. Nikki is beginning to wonder where all these twins are coming from... Hattie and Cassie, at five days old, are already communicating with each other. Nikki and Louis think that they'll grow up to have something to do with communication. Wouldn't that be interesting?

Luke and Tori love their big family, but sometimes it can be a little overwhelming with three rambunctious little boys and a little girl toddling around, but Tori wouldn't have it any other way. She and Luke were shocked when they found out they were going to be parents again. Davy and Danny were just five months old at the time. Tori let Luke do the naming for their third son, and he chose the name Scout Kain. A little nontraditional, Tori thought, but kind of cute in its own way. Scout certainly has a personality all his own and he's always running into some kind of trouble. Luke and Tori's first daughter, Annabelle Phoenix O'Neill, was born last year. Luke and Tori were very excited to have a little girl, after three boys. Bella is a quiet child, after all those boys, and Tori thinks that she'll have a sort of calming influence on the rowdier boys.

DD: Annalisa Geneva "Annie" (1)Adventures 2 and 6Two years after El was born, Leo and Violet found out they were expecting again! This time it was a double-portion--boy/girl twins! They were no longer struggling as they had when El was first born, Leo had graduated culinary school and was working as a sous chef in an upscale restaurant, but two babies at once was still very hard with Violet stil in school. She rushed to get as much coursework as possible finished so she didn't have to take as many classes her last year. They named their twins Thaddeus Owen Jonas and Mirabella Lily Ruby. Thaddeus was born with a head of curly blond hair and was a very loud wailer, while Mirabella, Mira for short, had thin dark whisps of hair and was always quiet and observant. El fell in love with them at once and was a very good big sister. Leo and Violet's lives were very hectic, but they loved every minute of it.Three years after the twins were born, Leo and Violet were in a good place.

Adventure 1 and 7: Just a couple of months after the adoption of Callie, Deanna discovered, to everyone's surprise, that she was pregnant. It was amazing! Being told her whole life to be infertile, she was now preparing to give birth! Most excited was Rufus. He was overjoyous! In all his excitement, Deanna let him pick names ... and it ended up being "Javelin November". Rufus had once been olympic champion in javelin-throwing (hmm ... champion? ... he told everyone he "forgot" where he put all his medals), and to name his son Javelin was his way of celebrating his athletic years. November for being the anticipated date of birth (ironically, Jav was a little late, and was born on the 1st of December instead, but Rufus didn't want to change the name). Rufus and Deanna kept trying to have a baby, but failed, so after a couple of years they decided to adopt again, from Mexico this time. They chose the names Valentina and Adelaide because they really sounded like princess names, and Danica and Hester because they both ment "star". Then, for their second middle names, they took Spanish names to honor the children's origin. They named Valentina after Callie's birth mother, Marisol, because Rufus and Deanna are still in close contact with Marisol. LN: Raybourne

She does well in school, and it very excited about starting grade one.Roland and Delilah kept themselves up for any young children that needed adopting and they were picked by a single mother who already had nine children and, unfortunately, couldn't care for her newborn son. Roland was excited about getting a boy so Delilah let him name him. So far Talon Flint's name has proven to be true as he loves watching Delilah cut things and is fascinated by fire. He is the least careful around little Rosa because he doesn't seem to realize how fragile she is.Ten months after adopting Talon, Roland and Delilah met with another teenage mother who was days away from her due date and had yet to choose an adoptive family for her baby. Delilah made an impression on young Jennifer, who ended up choosing the Rogers. Astrid was born giggling and is a happy-go-lucky sort who has permanent rose-coloured glasses on. But she's a sweetheart who dotes on Rosa and gets along extremely well with both Florence and Talon.Little Rosa, the only biological child of Roland and Delilah so far, was born with a small bit of black hair on her head and her baby blue eyes darkened within a few days to a deep brown. She is a solemn girl who cannot be parted from her multi-coloured blanket.

Last Saturday was Lev and Roni's eldest daughter's birthday. Maya Carolina, affectionately known as My, was celebrating her sixth birthday. At her side was her happy-go-lucky little sister Lili who was born around her half birthday when she was just one. Still, My wouldn't trade her little sister for the world. When My blew out her candles that day, she could she her Mom taking pictures and her dad holding her baby sisters, one in each arm. The girls were just a few days old and it was their first time in public. For the most part, Lev had spent time making sure they didn't start crying while Roni took care of the bigger girls.
