Britt's Compromise Congrats Round 3

Four more years have passed. Everyone has something to name, though it isn't a new baby for everyone. If you have a DPet, you can have more than one, just seperate them when you list them. For the story, has your family had to move now that their family is growing bigger? What adjustments have they had to make in their careers and lives because of their growing family? How do the children get along?

ATTN Names Are Awesome

So! We have had another daughter and a pet! First of all, what kind of pet?
And speaking of daughter's names, should we create some new combos or do you want to choose one of the "old" ones? =)

- NamesAreAwesome (not signed in) (guest)

1/17/2011, 5:34 PM

Let's come up with some "new" names for the little girl.

How about: Diane/Diana, Madison, Isabelle/Isabella/Elizabeth/Elisabeth, Felicity/Felicia, Veronica, Monica, Gertrude, Joelle, Jocelyn, Alice, Olivia, Theresa/Therese, Edith, Penelope...? Feel free to add your own, too.

Hmmmmm... doesn't really matter what kind of pet, to me. What's your favorite kind?

I really like Camille too! Other girl names I like are Anneliese, Clara, Calla, Maureen, Sofia/Sophia, Lily, Ruby, Molly, Scarlet(t), Estella, Sage, Mira, Genevieve, Isla, and Quinn

Don't know, just thoughts. Which side is the niece on? That could make a difference.

- E.Tracy (TABS) +5

How about
Isla Camille
Either wise my favorite is Camille Sophia
The niece could be on your side

Ooooo, I like Isla for our daughter. What do you think about the niece then?

- E.Tracy (TABS) +3

How about a daughter for Amelia Claire? that's the youngest sibling
combos
Clara Anneliese
Genevieve Claire

Sophia Quinn

I like Ruby Anneliese and Sophia Quinn the best, but I can't decide between them. They both appeal to different likes.

As for our story, I think Lena has decided to stay at home with the children. She may still do some consulting for her firm, but nothing full time. If Blake would like to move, she is agreeable.

With our growing family Lena has decided to stay home full time with the children taking side jobs for extra money. Blake and Lena agreed with their family growing moving out of the city for the suburbs would be more ideal with their larger family.

So dear Juliana, we have another son! And a pet.

I know we talked some about Noah last round and we both really liked that. I still do, but I'm open to new suggestions too. Do you have any?

And what kind of pet do we have? Personally I'm a dog person and I dislike cats, but again, I'm open for suggestions. :)

- britto08 +6

1/17/2011, 10:50 AM

I love the name Noah, and I think it goes will with the other kids' names. Shall we use that as a first name? I'd also kind of like to honor my father. Noah Victor or Noah James? I also really like the names Gabriel and Colin.

I'm more of a dog person myself, big dogs. Spaniels and Retrievers and other working dogs. What about you?

- Ninor (Frozten) +5

1/17/2011, 11:40 AM

Noah James sounds good to me, but if you prefer Noah Gabriel that is fine too.

I like big dogs too and I especially like Irish soft coated wheaten terrier, labrador and golden retrievers. :)

Do you want a male or female?

1/17/2011, 12:23 PM

Noah James is a great name! Why don't we get a labrador? I don't really care whether its a male or female, so looks like it's up to you!

- Ninor (Frozten) +3

1/18/2011, 1:18 PM

I prefer male, so I guess we have a male labrador then. :-)
Any name suggestions?

A few suggestions on m own: Theo Bennett Rufus Jack Jackson Hamish Zack Charlie Max Gabriel

- britto08 +2

1/18/2011, 2:51 PM

I like Bennett. A few suggestions of mine would be Max, Sam/Sammy, Felix, Toby, Cody, and Benny. I have to say Toby and Sam/Sammy are my favorites.

- Ninor (Frozten) +1

1/20/2011, 9:12 AM

I like Max and Felix (not sure if I like it on a dog though), maybe Sam.

So I guess we have Bennett, Max and Sam to choose from? I think Max is my favorite. Something that I thought of was if we have another son, do we want to use a Max-name or Sam- name then? If so we should probably go with Bennett, but if not any of those three would be great.

- britto08

1/21/2011, 5:52 AM

I'm not inclined to use a Max name, but I do like Sam and Ben names, so we'd better go with Max!

LittleMissNicki and AnnaMarie

We've had a baby boy! Kian is so excited to finally have a little brother!

I know we liked Noah Charles but we used 2 names from my family last time so I thought maybe we might use your father's name this time around, I'm sure he'd like that.
If its ok with you of course?

Noah Callum Ferguson
Oliver Callum Ferguson
Jasper Callum Ferguson
Tiernan Callum Ferguson
Zachary Callum Ferguson
Emmett Callum Ferguson
Austen Callum Ferguson

- AnnaMarie +6

1/17/2011, 10:58 AM

I love Noah Callum darling - it's a wonderful name. I do also really like Jasper Callum, Tiernan Callum & Austen Callum... But I thinnk i've been set on using Noah for our next son for 8 years so Noah Callum would be my pick.

What do you think love?

- LittleMissNicki +5

1/17/2011, 11:38 AM

We have waited an awfully long time to use Noah haven't we darling. Well looks like our son is Noah Callum Ferguson.

I think maybe now we've had our fourth child we might want to move out of the city of Edinburgh as larger houses are way out of our price range! Maybe we could move to the countryside. Or maybe even to another country? What are your thoughts?
As for my career I had been working part time but I decided to hand in my resignation a few months before Noah's arrival and am now a full time housewife. How's your career going love?
How are the kids getting on? Obviously Kian is over the moon he has a little brother now and can't wait until Noah is older and he can play soccer with him. Do they have any after school activities since our 3 older children are all in school now?

- AnnaMarie +4

1/17/2011, 12:20 PM

Well love, we've lived in Edinburgh near my family for a long time. Would you like to move back to England to be closer to your family? Perhaps we can get a house in the countryside somewhere?

I'm now working as a freelance architect and have work coming out my ears which has left us finanically quite well off so we're really free to do whatever we like from that point.

Kian loves his soccer, and he's really quite good! The girls are both enrolled in dance classes (ballet perhaps?). Their grades are obviously the most important thing though but that is the joy of you no longer working, and me working from home, we are always on hand to help them with their homework etc.

- LittleMissNicki +3

1/17/2011, 2:30 PM

We could move to England, my family live in the county of Northumberland and house prices are fairly cheap there so we could afford a really nice large house if we moved there. It borders Scotland so it isn't too far from Edinburgh so we could still see your family often. Northumberland is basically all countryside and it has a beautiful coastline.. its very historic too and has loads of Castle's. I think its the biggest county in England. Maybe the town of Alnwick could work for us.. its a really beautiful town. Here's some info for it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alnwick

Ballet classes sound great for our girls. And Alexa also does Drama once a week after school, she's a right little drama queen??
Our girls are total opposites of each other Lexi's chatty and excitable, she can't sit still for more than two minutes whereas Alice is pretty shy and prefers to sit quietly watching a movie or looking through a book.

It is fantastic we can both be home with our children and to help them with homework. I feel like we're really giving them a great start in life

- AnnaMarie +2

1/17/2011, 3:04 PM

Alnwick is beautiful love and is perfect for our needs. Lets do it.

The way you described our girls is them to a t. Kian is a real little sportsman, he loves to run around and he's such a good big brother, always looking out for his sisters.

Well, we've had two daughters! Two beautiful girls who look like their mother.

Here's a list of girl names that I like:

Octavia, Isadora, Beatrice/Beatrix, Iris, Imelda, Eleonora, Marigold, Eugenia, Griselda, Flora, Lucasta, Millicent, Margaret (would honor my mother; her middle name is Marjorie), Veronica, Gardenia, Minerva, Vivian/Vivienne, Georgia/Georgina/Georgiana, Rowena, Thomasina, Daisy, Primrose, Matilda/Mathilde, Henrietta, Viola, Rosemary (would honor your mother)

As you can see, I want our girls to have high-class, beautiful, but uncommon names. What do you think?

We've also gotten at least one pet. What did we get? A dog? A cat? A turtle? Some combination of the three?

1/18/2011, 4:19 PM

I've always rather liked classic names so most of yours fit well with my style. I especially like Beatrice, Georgiana, Rowena, Matilda/Mathilde and Daisy. I don't love Eleonora but it could definitely grow on me, same with Veronica.
Honouring-wise, I like Margaret but would you be open to Margot? And I don't like Rosemary but do like Rose.

I'm partial to dogs, myself, what about you?

I'm so sorry, I'm still in High School and I've had a very busy week and just haven't had enough time to respond before now. So sorry.

- RowenaRavenclaw +4

1/18/2011, 4:32 PM

{{It's so completely fine! I figured you were busy, but I also thought maybe you had just missed the post, since you were posting on other threads. Seriously, though, not a problem.}}

I'm really loving Georgiana for our first girl; perhaps Matilda for our second. Margot is a viable option and I quite like Rose...in fact, if it weren't your mother's name, I'd suggest it as a first name.

Is there anyone else you'd like to honor, just in case I'm being presumptuous?

Some combos:
Georgiana Therese
Georgiana Rose
Georgiana Margaret / Margot
Matilda Margot
Matilda Mary
Matilda Marigold
Beatrice Rose
Beatrice Theresa
Rowena Mary
Rowena Therese
Rowena Marjorie
Daisy Margot
Daisy Margaret

I think a small dog, like a beagle, would be a good fit for us.

- Wandering Moon (nsi) (guest) +3

1/19/2011, 11:06 AM

Georgiana Margot is quite nice.
Same with Beatrice Rose, Rowena Therese and Rowena Marjorie.
Well, since Margot honours both my Mother and my Sandra then I think I'm fine honouring-wise.

I know, I know. They didn't require as much thought and stories and whatever.

- RowenaRavenclaw +2

1/19/2011, 11:33 AM

Well, then, it seems that Margot honors my mother, your mother, and Sandra all in one fell swoop.

I think we've got our first girl named: Georgiana Margot Talbot. I think I'll call her Georgie; you don't have to, if you don't want to.

Now, about our second daughter. What if we named her after you?

Some possibilities:

Matilda Olivia / Olive
Rowena Olivia / Olive
Daisy Olivia

And, about our pet(s), you never responded about my idea about getting a beagle.

- Wandering Moon (Lillian Abigail) +1

1/19/2011, 5:42 PM

I rather like the flow of Rowena Olivia.

And beagle's are nice, quite cute. But the howling they sometimes do might get annoying.

- RowenaRavenclaw

1/19/2011, 6:03 PM

I just realized Rowena Olivia Talbot's initials would spell ROT...

We could train the dog not to howl; what kind of dog would you like?

Do we still live in Italy?

Our Godson, I suppose is Jewish. Where does he live?

Is this Liat?

Is this Tamir?

Is this Godson?

Would you find a picture for Baby Girl? I have not had much luck.

- Jade Diana (akaZsa) +1

1/17/2011, 3:35 PM

From Italy to Greece! About a year ago the company decided to open a new hotel in Greece, and asked me to help open it. Liat was not thrilled about leaving her friends behind in Italy, but thanks to the power of Skype she has been able to keep in touch. Tamir has been adjusting better since he was only four when we left. Where in Greece have they sent us? Anything to add?
Godson is indeed Jewish. We met his parents while in college, they were international students as well. Did they stay in America? Israel? Somewhere else?

Ideas for Godson:
Akiva
Dov
Efraim
Ira
Keshet
Omer
Reuben

Daughter:
Aliza
Aviva
Chava
Dalia
Elisheva
Keshet
Michal
Shira
Talia
Yael

Our baby girl?

1/17/2011, 6:16 PM

I don't think that is our girl. That baby has too dark of features.

Godson's parents are Israeli and live in Israel. We visit them whenever we visit there.

Omer Dov is our godson
Shira Zoe is our daughter

Perhaps one of these little girls is ours?

The children adore their baby sister. We live in Athens in a three bedroom apartment. It is smaller than we would have liked, but it gets the job done. The girls share a room.
