LN: [name_m]Smith[/name_m]
DH: [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] [name_m]Cedrick[/name_m] (nee Salutine-Smith)
DW: [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Alexia[/name_f]
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] & [name_f]Athena[/name_f] are expecting their second baby, another boy! They love Rook’s name, and want their second’s boy’s name to be just as sleek and cool. They love that [name_m]Rook[/name_m] is a word name, but is obscure and rare and easy to pronounce. The middle name should also be easy to pronounce.

LN: [name_m]Wallace[/name_m]
DH: [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]Kit[/name_m]
DW: [name_f]Juniper[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] “Perry”
[name_f]Juniper[/name_f] loves that Maude’s middle name ties to her name. For their next baby, another girl, her middle name should tie to Caspian’s in some way (please say how). Her first name should stick to the pattern of not having been in the US Top 1000 since at least 1950 and not have a nickname.

LN: Salutine-Jones
DH: [name_m]Elio[/name_m] [name_m]Samson[/name_m]
DH: [name_m]Kai[/name_m] [name_m]Sonny[/name_m]
[name_m]Laramie[/name_m] means “canopy of leafy boughs”. [name_m]Elio[/name_m] and [name_m]Kai[/name_m] fall in love with the idea of “nature imagery” without actually using “nature word” names as their theme. They are now expecting a little girl - give her a name that, like her brother’s, is unique and uses nature imagery. Her middle name should be a name fit for a princess!

LN: Zucker
DH: [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] [name_m]Lane[/name_m]
DW: [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Clare[/name_f]
Liking the idea of a very subtle pattern, [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_m]Alistair[/name_m] decide to go with names being in alphabetical order (ALZ, CCZ, BPZ). This means the next baby’s first name can start with any letter, but the middle name must start with a letter later in the alphabet. A friend suggested bird middle names, which they love as well, and they love that [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] means “Dove” without being too obvious. They also love the image of peace a dove evokes. They are now expecting a boy - pick a first name that goes well with [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], and a middle name that means an animal, without actually being the title of that animal, and that starts with a letter later in the alphabet than the first name.
DD: [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] ( @VEL )

LN: [name_m]Wallace[/name_m]
DH: [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
DW: [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] & [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] are now expecting a boy! This time, they decide his names should be from the [name_f]Star[/name_f] and Bohemian name lists (here and here). Up to you if the name ties in any other ways to big sisters, or the history of using famous creative names (Friday and Gatsby’s family) or gemstones (Pearl & Opal’s family). If there’s other ties, please explicitly call them out so I don’t miss it!

  • Middle Name: [name_f]Ciel[/name_f] means “sky” in [name_m]French[/name_m], which ties to [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] through the oceanic theme of “Caspian,” as both names evoke elements of nature. It reflects a sense of openness and freedom, similar to the vastness of the sea.
