Two weeks after Cordy's fifth birthday, Martha and Ishmael found out that they'd be having another child. It's been nine months since then, and Martha just gave birth to Cordy's brother. Cordy insisted on helping name him. When her parents asked how she'd like to name her brother, she responded, "I want to name him after two of my classmates!" Here's a list of her male classmates' names:

---

Carson; Luke; Tyler; Aidan; Ben; Corin; Elijah; Aaron; Gaspar; Miguel; Jonathan; Matthias; Toby; Timothy

Michael and Elias have grown in the past two years. They are toddling about and chattering their rather hard-to-understand language to each other. Lyra, Thomas, and Mick--as Michael David has been called-- are in second grade and thriving. One day, when the triplets bounded in the door, Abbi gave them the wonderful news that she and Aaron had shared with each other. They were to have another sibling, a little girl. Lyra wants her sister's first name--or at least one of her sister's names--to have "star" in it's meaning. Abbi and Aaron agreed that it would be okay to have. Abbi wants her daughter's other name to be a virtue.

Gwendolyn Sky is one year old. On her birthday she got a two big surprises. One: she was going to have twin sisters! Two: her mother and father were adopting someone! That someone is Gwen's ten-year-old cousin on her mother's side whose parents were killed in a plane crash as they traveled to visit a far-away relative, leaving their son behind and currently parent-less. Gwen's cousin bears a long name (your choice of how long; just not really, super long, please). His parents were obsessed about naming their only child after royalty, not caring if it was royalty of countries from which they descended or not. His names should come from these categories (your choice of where): Roman and Byzantine Emperors; Kings of the Franks and France; Kings of Germany and Holy Roman Emperors; Kings and Queens of England;
Kings and Queens of Denmark; Kings and Queens of Norway; Kings and Queens of Sweden; Kings and Queens of Spain; Kings and Queens of Hungary; High Kings of Ireland; Kings and Queens of Scotland; Grand Dukes and Tsars of Russia; Kings and Tsars of Bulgaria; or Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. Gwen's twin sisters should be given a Welsh name (doesn't matter if it's first or middle) with a middle name which either is a flower name or means flower.

Four years have passed for the Nazaretians. There have been four new additions to their family, as well. They have all been girls, and Just and Lev are rather upset about that. Mandy is in Heaven, though! She's always wanted a sister, and here she is with four! The three-year-old has an Armenian name like her father's and brother Levon's, and her middle name is a popular name, like her mother's. The two-year-old has a German first name simply because Em likes German names, and an Armenian middle name because Em is trying hard not to overlook her husband's culture in their children's names anymore. The one-year-old has a name from the most popular list of baby names in Hungary (Emily has become interested in different countries around the world and was doing research when the little one was born), and, of course, and Armenian middle name. The newest Nazaretian should have a hyphenated Hungarian and Armenian first name with a middle name meaning "friend."

The Sappington girls are now two, and they're going to be big sisters to twin boys! Laura and Josh would like the first boy's name to start with Q, and his middle name to start with R, so his initials are QRS. The second boy's first name should start with U and his middle name with T, so his initials are UTS.
