HelpRe: Molly's NTNB Round 2
in reply to a message by molly
Family 1
LN: Lamkin
DH: Stuart Ross
DW: Emily Alice Carlsen
DD: Cleo Henrietta (Genevieve) (3)
DS: Joel Archibald
Emily and Stuart are expecting a son. For his fn, they would like something similar to, but not among, the boys' names mentioned in this entry of the Baby Name Wizard blog (http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2008/6/why-not-indeed-0). For his mn, they would like something as clunky and old-fashioned as Henrietta, something that might be board-popular in 5 years.
Family 2
LN: Mejía
DH: Iván Rolando
DW: Belkys Marie
DS: Luca Misael (Sugar) (4)
DD/DD: Kiarys Bailey / Marixia Giselle
Belkys and Iván are happy to be having twins, but they want to respect each girl's individuality, so they are going to use names that are completely unique. Using the model of the Baby Name Wizard's grid for creating a new name, Belkys and Iván want 2 names made up of these sounds:
Beginning: Am / Jas / Ki / Mar / Yu
Middle: an / ar / id / liss / rix
End: any / ia / sy / y / ys
Make each fn with 3 of these sounds, and do not use any sound in both names. Feel free to tweak the spelling. For the mns, they would like playful names from the top 200 (http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/1000us2007.php).
Family 3
LN: Chapman
DH: Douglas Briggs "D.B."
DW: Marcia Patricia
DD: Mallory Blair (Bárbara) (2)
DS: Douglas Ward
D.B.'s father has the fn Douglas as well, so he would like to pass it on to his first son. They have agreed that their son's fn will be Douglas, but that he will go by his mn. They considered using Marcia's maiden name, Kimbrell, but decided it sounds too feminine. Still, they would like his mn to be a WASPy surname.
Family 4
LN: Cosmides
DMom: Vasiliki "Lili"
DS: Andrew Benjamin (hannah_1721) (2)
DS: Dennis Campbell
SO (Andrew's Dad): Thomas Patrick Aloysius "Tom" O'Neill
SO (A's Stepdad): Demetrius Cody Marshall
As soon as Andrew was born, Lili decided she wanted another child. Tom was satisfied with 1, so she chose to adopt her next son, and they agreed to give Andrew Lili's last name so that he would share a name with his brother (and because it made Andrew's initials ABC!). For her new son, whom she is adopting domestically, Lili would like another distinguished, traditional fn. However, she wants something less popular than Andrew, since she has already met 3 other toddler Andrews through various playgroups. For the mn, she would like to honor her grandmother, Spyridoula Campanis.
