Aggie's Story by Cera
Leah and Jon had a hard time naming their fifth child. They had a lot of ideas, but none of them seemed right. Finally Jon suggested that they just name her after the month of her birth (August). It started out as a joke, but the name Augusta quickly grew on them. They didn't come up with the middle name until after Aggie was born and Leah's sister brought her a big bouquet of daisies

Lily and Billie's Story by me [with bits of Cera's]
Jon and Leah were excited to have twins again. They'd decided early on that they were going to have brothers for Teddy. They even had names picked out: Philip and William. They were going to be called "Philly" and "Billy," "Phil" and "Bill" when they got older. When they were surprised with twin girls, they just kind of giggled and decided to change the names. Jon revealed to Leah his secret desire to name a son William, with the nickname Billy. Leah willingly goes with naming one of their daughters Wilhelmina, a feminine form of the German form of William. She and Jon decide to call her "Billie," as it looks more feminine than with a "y." The other girl Leah thought should have a floral first name. She decided that she liked Lily, but that Lily just didn't fit with Wilhelmina. After weeks and weeks of name searching, Jon and Leah couldn't find anything eloquent enough to be Billie's twin with the nickname Lily. They finally settled on Amaryllis. When the twins were born and it was announced they were named Wilhelmina and Amaryllis, Maisie asked, "What happened to Lily, mom?" Leah decided then and there that Lily would actually fit quite nicely with their little daughter. And the name stuck.

Seventeen years have passed. Maisie is twenty-five, married, and expecting her first child: a daughter (by the way, I'm flipping coins for the genders, which is why there are so many girls; I did not come up with the genders).
Maisie married a strong Catholic man with the last name Mottershead. His FN and MN1 should be the name of a Catholic saint, and his MN2 should be Biblical. His NN is derived from his MN1.
Maisie joined the Catholic Church and is a strong believer herself. She and her husband want to give their daughter names similar to her father. Her FN should be that of a Catholic saint. Her MN1 should be that of a Biblical character. Her MN2 should be three syllables--in honor of Maisie's family. Her NN should come from her MN1.
