[name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m] & [name_m]Louison[/name_m] have three children. They like unique names. First names begin with 2-3 consonants. Bonus points if they are an unusual combination like ‘pt’ for [name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m], but not necessary. Middles are [name_m]French[/name_m] and unisex.
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and [name_m]Dak[/name_m] have four children. [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] always found her name too long, frilly, and feminine, while [name_m]Dak[/name_m] always found his too short and harsh-sounding, so they gave their children medium-length names that have a more balanced feel. The children’s middle names honor their grandparents [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Philip[/name_m], [name_f]Joan[/name_f], and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], but without using any of their names directly.

[name_m]Jarvis[/name_m] and [name_f]Hildegard[/name_f] have four daughters, each named something clunky and unusual from deep in the family tree. The girls’ middle names are word names given to each of them as a gift, a trait their parents hope to bestow on their baby.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] ‘Deon’ and [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] ‘Mina’ have four children. Like their parents, they go by nicknames that are the last four letters of their first name. Their middle names each honor a different season of the year, but are not the name of the season itself.
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Fintan[/name_m] have three children. All of their first names start with the same letter. One first name honors a literary influence, one honors a musical influence, and one subtly honors [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], Otto’s sister.
[name_m]Austen[/name_m] → [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Austen[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Abbie[/name_f] → [name_f]Abba[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Angharad[/name_f] shares consonants with [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] (Angharad) and means ‘much loved’ which fits the meaning of [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] (‘friend’).

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] have 5 children. For the first name, hey love short and sweet names like [name_f]Maya[/name_f] or [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], but don’t want their children’s name to be in the top 100 in the US. They also love midcentury names like [name_f]Renee[/name_f], [name_f]Beverly[/name_f], and [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], and would like their children’s middle names to sound like they’d fit in during the 1950s and 60s.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Theo[/name_m] have 6 daughters whose names are all floral and botanical choices which they can grow in their garden in the UK. However, none of the flowers are also commonly used as colour names (so [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] yes, [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] no). Everyone has a unique first initial. Middle names are unusual words related to professions which are associated with books [name_f][/name_f]- librarians, bookbinders, writers, etc.
