Welcome to LaRe's newest NTNB! This one probably won't be a long one, maybe about five rounds or somewhere around that. Unlike the previous one, there'll be no theme for all the families. Instead, the sheer strange mix will be the "theme" this time around.
The Wright Family
DH: George Lawrence Hector Wright [30]
DW: Louise Catherine Wright (nee Donnely) [21]
DD: _______ _______ _______ Wright [nb]
Louise Donnely comes from a strictly old-fashioned family, one that follows the olden days' traditions to the T. She also comes from a social climber family, and these two facts combined results in a rarity for modern culture: an arranged marriage. Louise was outraged at first, and was even more incensed when she was told that her future husband is far older than her! At first, Louise contemplated running away, but she eventually realised that the best way will be to follow her parents' wishes.
Thus, Louise found herself engaged to an Earl from an old family, George Wright. At first, Louise found even conversation to be awkward and clipped, but she managed to pull through. Now, the two of them are married (in a tolerable condition, since George doesn't try to force Louise into things she are uncomfortable in), and expecting their first child.
George wants their daughter to follow the Wright naming tradition, and Louise agrees as long as she can honour her family. The child's FN will be a classic/vintage name, her first MN will honour either Louise's mother (Helena Elizabeth) or sister (Anne Margaret), and her second MN is up to you.
The Crawford-Foster Family
Dbf: Kevin Glenn Crawford [23]
Dgf: Kylie Rochelle Foster [20]
DS: _______ _______ Crawford-Foster [nb]
Kevin Crawford is a B-list actor, recently having his big break due to his role in the blockbuster hit "Don't Mess with Amy". Kylie Foster is a girl from a rural town who has decided that she dreams to be married to a superstar. And one day, in a cafe at Los Angeles, the two of them crossed paths (Kevin was dining, and Kylie was the waitress - the perfect Hollywood meeting!). In time, the two of them got romantically entangled, and lo and behold, a baby is due!
Kylie wants their son's FN to start with K, and his MN to be something tryn'di. Kevin doesn't really care, as long as the child's got a name.
The Brivio-Nobbs Family
Dbf: Alessandro Giovanni "Ale" Brivio [17]
Dgf: Gemma Emily Nobbs [16]
DS: _______ _______ Brivio [nb]
Ale and Gemma are a pair of high school sweethearts, the usual pair of starry-eyed lovers. One night, their naive lovesickness caught hold of them. Some time later, Gemma started feeling morning sickness, and she was instantly worried that she was pregnant. When it was discovered that she was indeed expecting, Ale and Gemma found themselves in the presence of four, agitated parents. After a long discussion and many tears, it was finally resolved. Ale and Gemma would marry straight out of high school, and the two of them have embraced the commitment ahead of them, fearful yet curious of what the future will bring.
Ale and Gemma want their son's FN to be an Italian name that works in English as well, and for his MN to mean "son", "happy", "blessed", or some other positive thing.
The Jennings Family
DW: Fionnuala Lysandra "Fi" Jennings [26]
DW: Grace Mary Jennings (nee Keller) [24]
AD/AD: _______ _______ Jennings / _______ _______ Jennings [2]
Fi and Grace are a globe-trotting couple who met during one of their travels. It was Paris that witnessed their first meeting, Prague that set the stage for their first kiss, and Las Vegas that became the backdrop for their wedding. Now, Fi and Grace have recently traveled to Hong Kong, and they have decided to adopt a pair of twins!
Fi and Grace want their daughter's FNs to be something neither as strange as Fi's names nor as "plain" as Grace's, and their MNs to be Chinese.
