Six Sisters CAF Story-Quiz

Laurel met Thea at work. It was pretty much love at first sight. Because Laurel is shy, they took a little while to get together. When they had been together about six months, Thea had taken a new job and missed seeing Laurel as often as they used to. She asked Laurel to move in with her. Two years later they were ready to start a family. They decided that Laurel would be the first to carry. On their third attempt at IVF, Laurel got a positive result on a pregnancy test!
Thea and Laurel were sitting on a bench in a park one morning when they were at around twenty weeks, watching ___ which gave them the idea for their baby’s name:

1st Daughter’s FN
Butterflies: Farasha, Kimana, Kimani, Mariposa, Skipper, Aponi, Kelebek.
Kites: Keats, Keating, Kometa, Cometa, Aquilone
Dragonflies: Libelle, Siofra (linking its meaning with draonfly symbolism), Atherbell, Blancette, Bilancelle, Libelinha (Drawing and Illusion: The Naming of Nature - Dragonflies), Freya.

Birds of Prey: Kestrel, Akilina, Akileria, Altair, Amalda, Aridiana, Arna, Erelis, Iolana, Opala, Merrill or Meryl, Iolani, Nele.

Having settled on a first name, Thea and Laurel decided that they would like to honour their mothers with their first baby’s middle name. Their mothers are called:

1st daughter MN:
Ann and Rose: Roxanne, Rosanna, Rosanne, Rowan, Rosina, Anna-Rose, Annora
Ellen and May: Marielle, Mariellen, Esme, Mayellen, Esmeray, Marianella
Lydia and Jillian: Jacindia, Jadia, Jada, Jillana, Lillian, Lillia, Liliana
Natalie and Katherine: Karina, Kristie, Kristine, Nerine, Nadine, Nicoline, Noeline

Their first daughter was two when Thea and Laurel decided to add to their family. Thea wanted to carry this child. She conceived first time and had terrible morning sickness which was actually all-day sickness! She survived on ginger, which helped relieve the nausea, and apples, which were pretty much the only thing she wanted to eat! This baby was very active in the womb. They decided to give her a first name that reflects -

2nd daughter FN
The ginger/apples which got them through the first trimester: Ginger, Ginette, Sienna, Autumn, Amber, Maple, Apple, Pomeline, Chamomile, Almila, Omena, Pomme, Pomona, Quince.
Their little girl’s high activity levels: Liv, Vivia, Vivienne, Vivian, Antigone, Joan, Leta, Greta, Seraphina, Fiametta, Blythe, Drucilla.

2nd daughter MN
They decide to honour a male relative with their second’s middle. They decode on:
Honouring Thea’s father, Brian: Briony, Bryony, Bronagh, Bronwen, Bridie, Birdie, Brianna, Bryana, Brienna, Brianna.
Honouring Lauren’s grandfather, Joseph: Josie, Jo, Josephine, Seraphine, Josepha, Joni, Joella, Joelle, Jolene, Stephanie, Stephania, Persephone.

Thea gives birth with a few complications, but both she and their second daughter recover well. The baby’s big sister adores her new sibling!
Three years later, Thea and Lauren are at the beach, watching their five and three year old daughters playing in the sand. They have both started to think about having another baby, discussing who would carry if they did. “Maybe we should just wait for a sign,” Thea jokes. No sooner had she said it, than their eldest walked over and arranged some dried fronds of seaweed on Lauren’s stomach, explaining that she was making a comfy bed for the new baby. So that decided that.

3rd daughter FN
Inspired by the beach: Coral, Coralie, Marina, Nerida, Nereida, Marisol, Maristela, Oceane.
Inspired by her being the third: Tressa, Tertia, Terza, Cece, Tuesday or Wednesday, March (after the third letter in the alphabet, the debated third day in the week, month).

In the third trimester, the family were on holiday in France. They met the sweetest:

3rd daughter MN
Baby, who inspired the middle name: Inez, Agathe, Inaya, Jeanne, Eva, Romy, Manon, Margaux, Guilia, Nour, Capucine.
Old lady who inspired the middle name: Sylvie, Monique, Jacqueline, Christiane, Colette, Simone, Madeleine, Bernadette, Eliane, Claudette, Odile.

Lauren’s pregnancy and birth went very smoothly. Sadly Lauren’s great aunt passed away six months later. They decide to hit the ground running and try for baby number 4 straight away, with the money she left them for this purpose. When they discover that they are having their fourth girl, they honour this treasured relative using her:

4th daughter FN
First name, Caroline: Caroline, Caro, Caitlyn, Carolyn, Carol, Carey, Charlotte.
Middle name, June: June, Juni, Juna, Juno, Rose, Rosalie, Rosalia, Summer.

Again, Lauren’s pregnancy and birth is straight forward. When their 4th is four years old, they are both drawn to adding one last child to their family. Thea would like to try carrying again with this final pregnancy. They are overjoyed, and a little alarmed, to find out that they have conceived twins through IUI. Their daughters are ecstatic, and more than a little convinced that Mummy is growing them at least one brother this time. They have the name Luca picked out early on. This time, they leave genders a surprise until the birth, which is a planned C section at 37 weeks, due to medical reasons. Both babies are AFAB! Six sisters! They choose these names from the lists they took to the hospital:

5th daughter (born four minutes earlier) FN:
The twins are…
…Fraternal/not identical, they choose from eldest daughter’s choices: Luca, Lucy, Lucinda, Lucasta, Martha, Amy, Rowena, Rowan, Sage, Ruth, Celandine, Cosima, Marianne, Lily, Betony.
…Identical, they choose from second daughter’s favourites: Scout, Clara, Beatrice, Hermione, Teagan, Luna, Erica, Eris, Erin, Elena, Eleni, Elinor, Elowen, Nila.

5th daughter MN:
The twins hair is…
…Jet black, choose from names Thea and Lauren researched on Namberry :blush:: Ebony, Snow, Night, Darcy, Delaney, Esmeray, Kiara, Ciara, Keira, Melantha, Tamala.
Strawberry blonde, choose from 3rd daughter’s favourites, which are mostly her friends from school: Callie, Violet, Sophie, Sophia, Ezra, Raya, Emma, Amelie, Emelie, Kaiya, Asher, Aisling, Amalia.

6th daughter FN:
The big sisters bring…
…Peter Rabbit toys to the hospital for the twins to snuggle, choose from 4th daughter’s list: Aurora, Merida, Elsa, Ana, Trixie, Wendy, Petal, Daisy, Posie, Diamond, Rarity. Choose wisely :joy:
Balloons with flower fairies on to welcome their new, tiny sisters: Victoria, Faye, Parisa, Alara, Tiana, Elvenia, Alette, Auretta, Dela, Elida, Olette.

6th daughter MN:
When driving the babies home from the hospital,
A bevvy of swans fly overhead: Swan, Fidelia, Penna, Penny, Odette, Odile, Cygni, Fenella, Finola, Rhodanthe, Viveka ( Swan-Inspired Baby Names: Lincoln, Odette, Svana - Appellation Mountain ), Svana (Svana: Name Meaning, Popularity and Info on BabyNames.com).
They pass a field of ewes with their lambs: Rachel, Rahel, Rachael, Merona, Shepherd, Ovidia, Kori, Oanez, Una, Oona, Lahela.

I hope you enjoyed this! It took ages to write and now I am thoroughly invested in Thea and Lauren’s journey to have children, and I can’t wait to read the names you come up with for their daughters :blush:

Erm, you may notice that Laurel’s name changes to [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] half way through - oops :rofl: I don’t want to go in to edit that, because I might lose all the name links, as sometimes happens when editing. Apologies in advance for all other typos and memory mishaps!
