in reply to a message by slbond
The Scott Family
Andrew and Elise are expecting their first child, a boy. They have decided that the name should honor two of the baby's four grandparents: Elise's father, Charles, and Andrew's mother, Larissa.
LN: Scott
SO1: Andrew James (28)
SO2: Elise Hope (28)
DS: Lawrence Carlisle (Lawrence is related to Larissa, Carlisle combines elements from both names.)
----------
The David-Branson Family
Hannah and Beth are adopting their first child, a baby girl from China. Her name is Yu Ling. They plan to change it, but would like to find an English name that honors her Chinese name in some way, for example, by sharing its meaning, or by having a similar sound.
LN: David-Branson
SO1: Hannah Marie (31)
SO2: Beth Adeline (27)
DD: Lina Jade (Lina from Ling, Jade from one of the meanings of Yu)
----------
The Ridley-Cohen Family
Alex and Naomi are expecting their fist child. They've decided to wait until the baby is born to learn the gender. Naomi would like to use a name that honors her Jewish heritage. Alex, a professor of literature, would like to use a name made famous by a book.
LN: Ridley-Cohen
SO1: Alexander Paul (34)
SO2: Naomi Miriam (34)
DD: or DS: Nessa Scarlett or Omri Dorian
----------
The Ambrose-Reid Family
Laura and Mark are expecting boy/girl twins. They have moderate tastes: they don't like names that are really strange or unheard of, but don't want to use extremely popular names, either. They would like the twins' names to be related without being super themey.
LN: Ambrose-Reid
SO1: Laura May (25)
SO2: Mark Jonathan (26)
DS/DD: Asher Leo / Gwen Laurel (both first names mean "blessed")
----------
The Jameson Family
Daniel and Brian are adopting a child from within their own country (the US). They've been matched with a pregnant mother; they'll adopt the baby as soon as it is born (they don't know the gender yet). They get to name their child, and they would like to honor the birthmother. Her name is Claire Grant. They want the name to recognize her without literally being her name.
LN: Jameson
SO1: Daniel Louis (30)
SO2: Brian Gregory (30)
DD: or DS: Clara Gratia or Gratian Sinclair
