The O’Brien Family
Dbf: [24] Cyrus Llewellyn O’Brien
Dgf: [18] Suzanne “Suzie” Francesca Pearl Clenick
DS: [1]
Suzanne’s parents weren’t pleased to hear that their seventeen-year-old daughter got pregnant with a man six years her senior. They warmed up to Cyrus a bit when it became obvious he wasn’t going to just leave Suzie and her son. Now they keep pestering the young couple to finally organise a wedding.
Their son has three names:
• FN begins with either “C” or “S”,
• FN and MN1 are pretty common English names,
• MN2 is a short word name,
• the last name is same as father’s.

They met at their mutual friend’s birthday party, went on a few dates and married just six months later. Recently they’ve welcomed their first baby boy.

The Mabbett Family
DH: [31] Chandler Robert Mabbett
DW: [26] Roxanne Ildikó Mabbett (née Hiney)
DS/DS: [1]
Chandler and Roxanne both love travelling. After getting married they decided to wait with trying for a child and went on a long trip to Asia. Just before their third anniversary Roxanne found out she was pregnant… And soon they were surprised to hear they were going to have twins!
Each of the boys has two names:
• FNs are occupational names,
• MNs are Hungarian to honour Roxanne’s maternal ancestry.

The Stanton Family
DH: [28] Albert Thomas Henry Stanton
DW: [23] Clementine “Minty” Annabel Emily Stanton (née Addington)
DS: [nb]
Clementine and Albert knew each other for years before getting married, as she and Albert’s younger sister were best friends ever since the primary school. There was no big love, no butterflies in their stomachs – but they understood each other and enjoyed spending time together, so they decided to give it a chance.
They’ve recently welcomed their first son. He has three names, all English and classic-sounding.

The Ullmann Family
DFiancé: [24] Oskar Siegfried Ullmann
DFiancée: [19] Galilea “Lea” Ivy Templeton

• MN is nature related,
• the last name is same as father’s.
