[name_f]Alsie[/name_f] got her first name from Alsea, Oregon, where her parents met on separate camping trips!

[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_u]Esme[/name_u] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] nn [name_u]Esme[/name_u]

[name_f]Lumi[/name_f] was born prematurely and her parents hadn’t settled on a name yet. It was snowing that day although it was only [name_u]October[/name_u], and a nurse’s comment that the weather must have known she was supposed to be a [name_u]Winter[/name_u] baby inspired her first name. [name_u]Nightingale[/name_u] was a huge GP of her mom for a long time. The other parent knew this and used to tease her about how it’s not usable, but after the long and chaotic day at the hospital they put it on the birth certificate as a surprise for her.

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is named after his older, stillborn sister [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], who his parents wanted to include as a reminder of her.

Pascoe’s gender was never fully revealed during ultrasounds although doctors did told his parents the baby was most likely to be a girl. Her mother went into labor unexpectedly on [name_f]Easter[/name_f] day. His parents had to brainstorm names for him on the spot since they had already picked a girl name " [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] [name_u]Briar[/name_u] ". Through some quick research they stumbled upon the name [name_u]Pascoe[/name_u] and it’s meaning, it’s like it was ment to be. The middle name briar remained the same since they thought it was gender neutral enough. They choose [name_u]Briar[/name_u] because they thought it would be a fun twist on the family name [name_f]Rose[/name_f], it was his grandma’s name, his mom’s middle name and his older sister was named [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] honors her great-grandmother, [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], while still giving her a distinct name. [name_f]May[/name_f] was the month her parents were married in, and it also honors [name_f]Maya[/name_f], a friend of the couple. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] was one of their first-name contenders for a while — they loved the playful nickname [name_u]Nev[/name_u] — but she soon slipped to the middle spot. However, [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is still a very significant name to the couple, honoring both an aunt [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] and a cousin [name_f]Verity[/name_f].
Ophelia’s parents met through community theatre, putting on the show [name_m]Hamlet[/name_m]. Neither of them actually played [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] in the production, but they thought it would be a lovely way to honor their meeting.
