I agree with all of that, Minnie going by such was always, in my mind, because she was named after her Mother. Our Father, maybe he could have ancient Greek name like Demetrius does?

I also agree that we were previously nobility of some sort. I think an ancient Greek name would match well with the rest of the family.

How about Leonidas Demetrius for our father? I feel like if the daughter was named after the mother, the boy would be named after the father somehow. And maybe Hermione as our mother's middle name?

Leonidas Demetrius sounds great to me. Very handsome. I was thinking either Hermione or Athena for Mother's middle name.

What are our parents like? Obviously they were indulgent with their children, educating them and encouraging Hermione's and Arianna's magical training, even spoiling Demetrius. Are either of them mages? It doesn't seem to me like they are, but with two daughters magically inclined, they could be.

On a side note, if they period is Ancient Greek, is the style of dress a loose flowing dress, like you see in pictures of Egyptians and Greek gods and such? Just curious. :)

I like the sound of loose flowing garments. I'd say they were rather indulgent, somewhat too much so with Demetrius. Why would you say he is spoiled? I don't feel like they would be the type to spoil him because he was the only boy, and I definitely feel as if they would be the type to love all their children equally. Maybe he was a sickly child so they were over-protective and gave him what he wanted? I'd also say they had high expectations of their children, which is why they finally got fed up with Demetrius's laziness.

I mean with three sisters like Minnie, Hermione, and Ari...he's definitely the black sheep!

Maybe he was a bit sickly, a bit weak, and a little too inclined to stay indoors and party. They were indulged and he learned to love the fine things in his life? He's probably just as intelligent, but not as unenthusiastic or passionate as his sisters.

Yeah, I figured our brother was intelligent as well. And him being sickly as a kid makes sense. So we have our family figured out? Our parents and new cousin are squared away?

That all sounds good. It was my intention for him to be intelligent, but just not as passionate about it as his sisters. I didn't even think of the sickly thing but it makes a lot of sense that that's why he would be spoiled.
