HelpRe: High Society NTNB - Round 2
in reply to a message by saphirdufeu
Family 1 - London, England
DH [33]: Evander Thomas Calderbrook Hazelden (Genevieve)
DW [33]: Madelina Daffodil "Lina" Hazelden, née Dunhill-Missington (Lumi)
DS1 [4]: Sandro Thomas David Hazelden (RowenaRavenclaw)
DD1 [1]: Queen Anne Gwendoline Hazelden (got Gwendoline from https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2018/10/roaring-twenties-names-flappers-sheiks-and-clubmen.html)
Evander eventually convinced Lina to name their firstborn son after his beloved Botticelli (and, incidentally, after his own biography of of Botticelli, entitled Sandro). In return, he promised that Lina — whose somewhat outlandish taste had favoured ‘Rembrandt’ for their son — could have free rein over the first name of their daughter, born a year ago. Sandro, much to Evander’s mostly-concealed disappointment, has not shown much inclination towards art as of yet, instead preferring to play ‘builders’ with his toy trucks and bricks. Lina hopes he’ll find a lucrative career in real estate; Evander fears he may become a common bricklayer. When asked, Sandro asserts that he wants to be ‘the moon’ when he grows up.
Family 2 - New York City, NY
DH [38]: Pierre Sabri Amjad (Laura B.)
DW [39]: Cristina Svetlana Nancy Amjad, née Buono (Nix)
DD1 [9]: Lili Maïssa Francisca Amjad (Wordsmith)
DD2 [6]: Esti Amore Laila Amjad (Darkbone)
DD3 [3]: Peri Céline Faiza Amjad
DD4 [exp]: Joni Salvatrice Halima Amjad
After much deliberation, Pierre and Cristina eventually settled on NYC as the place to raise their children. Lili and Esti are enrolled at a private school with twin focuses on academic success and creative pursuits; Cristina has opened a brick-and-mortar storefront for her vintage designer bridal boutique. Pierre continues to fly frequently between New York and Paris, as well as other European locations, and he often takes his ‘little princesses’ with him. Lili and Esti have a younger sister already, and another one on the way.
Family 3 - Geneva, Switzerland
DH [46]: Oskar Juste Messerli (Cinnabar)
DW [35]: Reva Messerli, née Kumar (Amoret)
DH’s DS [13]: Nico Florian Messerli (cher529s)
DD1 [4]: Nina-Ila Kriemhild Messerli
DS1 [2]: Lio-Vasu Florimond Messerli
Oskar and Reva have welcomed two children, a son and a daughter, but it looks like there might be trouble in paradise. Since having her children, Reva has started to tire of life in Geneva, longing for her family’s sprawling Indian estate or the sunshine of California, where she attended university. Oskar insists that they can’t leave Geneva, citing the issue of his custody agreement with Nico’s mother. Reva, however, thinks that Oskar could certainly pay a lawyer to find a way around this if he wanted to, and he’s using this as an excuse to keep her trapped in Switzerland. Nico, for his part, would be delighted if his step-mother packed up her noisy little brats, hopped on a plane to India, and never came back.
Family 4 - London, England / Saffron Walden, England
ExH [41]: Peregrine Cuthbert Oliver Braswell (molly)
ExW [40]: Charity Fairbairn Olayinka (Lumi)
DD1 [7]: Helena Dayo Scarlett Braswell-Olayinka (ari.)
DD2/DS1 [3]: Faith Abidemi Hero Braswell-Olayinka & Francis Opeyemi Fairbairn Braswell-Olayinka
ExH’s DGF [25]: Amelia Rose Welch
Peregrine and Charity welcomed twins three years ago. The children were born into the eye of a hurricane - just a month before, a tabloid newspaper published exclusive photos of Peregrine getting cosy with his blonde twenty-something costar at his latest TV project’s wrap party. A week later, asked to comment upon the situation, Peregrine’s aristocratic father went on a tirade which managed to denigrate both Charity and the other woman, and was widely condemned as misogynistic, racist, and generally bigoted. Peregrine and Charity maintained a silent, united public front until the twins were six months old — although in reality, Charity and the children had moved in with Charity’s parents — at which point they announced they were seeking a divorce. Charity has moved to a different charming-and-expensive English town to focus on raising the children; Peregrine gave it a year and then shacked up in London with the blonde actress at the heart of the scandal.
People who always specified that they’re the “Suzie M. who spells her name with a Z” name their daughters Tinkerbell.
