Merith and [name_u]Chris[/name_u] have four children in the order girl-boy-girl-boy. The girls and the boys each share initials. Additionally, the oldest two share the same vowel sound, as do the youngest two. The first names overall are very matchy matchy - perhaps a bit too much - both in look and sounds. This is countered by the middle names which are all the same style, but do not share initials or main sounds, and do not look similar at all.

[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] and Mariko have three sons and two daughters. Each child’s first name should be either a Hebrew/Jewish name that would be relatively easy for Mariko’s Japanese-speaking family to pronounce, or a Japanese name that would be relatively easy for Rachel’s English-speaking family. Middle names should be of the opposite origin to the first names (so a child with a Japanese first name would have a Hebrew middle name and vice versa) and are specifically names that [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] and Mariko avoided using as first names because they /fail/ the “easily pronounced in the partner’s language” criterion.

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]David[/name_u] have three sons. Their first names are rare classics that you don’t hear often on a little boy. Their middle names are the opposite; they are modern names that people over a certain age are never called.

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] have 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls aged 17(b), 15(b), 10(g) and 4(g). They like [name_f]Vintage[/name_f] names that have nice nicknames.

[name_u]Julie[/name_u] and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] McClain are dentists with a love for all things summer! They have three kids, all girls, and are expecting a baby next month. The daughters are aged 13, 8 and 5. The couple opted not to know the sex of their newest addition, so they need a name picked out for both sexes. Their daughters’ middle names all start with S and they’d like for the new baby’s to as well. As for their first names, they’re all a different amount of syllables.

[name_f]Jen[/name_f] and [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] [name_m]Brannigan[/name_m] have three children: two girls and a boy (born in that order). By chance, all three children were born the same week as holidays: Their oldest was born near [name_u]Christmas[/name_u], their middle was born near Halloween, and their youngest was born near [name_f]Easter[/name_f]. All of their first names have to do with the holidays they were born near. Their first middle names all start with a C, and their second middle names are unisex Irish choices.

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] have three daughters and three sons, with the youngest daughter and two sons being triplets. Their first names are no more than three letters long, but the middles make up for it by being at least four syllables. None of the children share any of their initials, and the meanings of all the names should be either positive or nature-related. Despite their short first names, at least one of the children uses a nickname connected to their real name.

[name_f]Dolores[/name_f] and [name_u]Rocky[/name_u] delivered their third child four weeks early. Their three-year-old boy/girl twins are excitedly impatient to meet her, since they can’t visit her in the hospital due to COVID restrictions. As mama and baby heal, she and [name_u]Rocky[/name_u] talk about names… The oldest daughter is named [name_f]Roksana[/name_f], so please find familiar, beautifully spelled Polish names for the son and newest baby girl that will flow well with [name_f]Roksana[/name_f]. All of the children’s middle names are unusual animal names with a touch of whimsy.

[name_f]Daniella[/name_f], 32, and her wife [name_f]Samara[/name_f], 34, have three adopted children who they adore.
Their eldest is a boy, 8, who loves playing soccer and riding bikes with the neighborhood kids. He wants to be a lawyer when he grows up, just like his mom [name_f]Samara[/name_f]. His initials are T.L.
Their daughter, 4, is a curly-haired wild child who adores her big brother and wants to be just like him! She is very artistic and is constantly drawing portraits of her family which she proudly shows off at pre-school. Her initials are E.V.
Their youngest boy, 2, is quiet but adventurous and loves swimming in the kiddie pool his moms set up outside. He can’t get enough of the family’s pet poodle, Toto. His initials are P.A.

Loved this one!

[name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_u]Kody[/name_u] have fostered four unrelated children for several years and have just gotten the go-ahead to adopt them. They also just found out that they’re pregnant with a boy. Since all of the kids have very different names, style-wise, they want to try to find a name for their newborn son that will tie all of them together. Here’s the breakdown:
14-year-old girl: modern and trendy first name with cute nickname; Gaelic middle name
13-year-old girl: bold first name from fantasy; short, old-fashioned middle name
10-year-old boy: underused Hawaiian first name; quirky word middle name
5-year-old girl: first name that is common in the Philippines but not the US; Tongan middle name
Newborn boy: somehow a combination of all of the above
