Mythological Fantastical NTNB; #3
Once again, thank you to those who participated last round! There were some wonderful names and it was very difficult to pick just one (or rather, two)! Well done to all. :D
If there's any newcomers reading this, you can either pick up here, or, if you're a bit lost, read the first post to catch up on the idea behind this NTNB and then post your suggestions for this round. You're welcome either way. If you played the first round but missed last round, no worries either.
This round has a few more people to name, including, as will be explained below, a couple of non-family 'staff'. Remember to include their surnames! :3 With more than one set of naming-rules, and my innate desire to create some background for our family, the info paragraphs are a bit longer than I planned them to be - feel free to let me know if they're too wordy or the instructions aren't clear enough.
I'm really enjoying what you guys come up with, so I hope you enjoy this round too! :)

LN: Gloom {Weirwood}
DH: Agrippa Timothy Muriel Gloom “Aggie” (32) {ValerieK}
DW: Nettle Spyridoula {Wildwood} Gloom (30) {Bea}
DD/DS: Monday Alethea Gloom / Lycus Theophanes Gloom (2) {Magz / SugarPlumFairy}
DD:
-Butler: (57)
-Nanny: (24)
~~~~~~~
The new Gloom children have entered their terrible twos, bringing chaos in their wake. Who expected anything else from toddler lycanthropes? They are Monday and Lycus, the destroyers of things. Nettle and Aggie had just gotten used to the idea that they could never have anything nice when help arrived on the scene. The Gloom household, through the interference of Agippa's prestigious and controlling parents, has become a household with Help.
Their new butler is a goblin. His first name is quintessentially old-fashioned, dusty, fusty and no longer commonly used (at all!). His middle name is ancient and hilariously grandiose, the kind of name no normal living person could pull off as a first name - think Caesar or Vercingetorix. His surname is an Anglo-Saxon, old Germanic or Norse given name.
The nanny is something that Nettle fought with all her might, but actually, the woman has been nothing but a godsend. Nettle has decided to take a course in modern paranormal studies, and so the nanny has helped balance her workload. Plus, she's an efficient house-cleaner, unlike Nettle, and a wonderful cook and the children love her.
The nanny is half-human, half-brownie. Her first name is a very uncommon English given name (as long as BtN or a popular source acknowledges it being used in English in some way - eg, even something like Hermione or Boudica - it's okay), with a simple nickname. The nickname can be linked to the name in any way, obvious or obscure, as long as there's a link. Middle name and surname should be Scottish.
Finally, the Glooms have a third child to welcome to their household. Their new daughter has all the signs of being a witch who is as magically talented as her father. Her first name should be the name of a fictional or mythological witch (google and wikipedia should offer some good lists of names) and her middle name should be influenced by the name of a poisonous plant or substance. You can use the scientific or commonly used names, or make up something inspired by either - your choice.
