OK - I got to thinking the other night that it would be fun to do a NTNB where everybody got to create their own version of the families. And so, I decided to do a Keep-Up-Yourself version of a Name-The-New-Born.
I'll be providing families just like a normal NTNB. However, you will be keeping all of the families you name. You can chose to add ages, descriptions, or even stories if you'd like. You can also chose to add more MNs to any family, but I will only be providing details for the FN/MN. I will provide links to all of the previous rounds so that you can quickly find your family or do missed rounds. Have fun :-D
Note: This is a double round because I am going away for the weekend and don't think I'll be able to update this until Monday - Happy and safe 4th of July everybody :-)

Round 3: Dom and Aderyn are finally having a little girl! They would like her FN to be from the following list:
http://nameberry.com/list/264/Hipster-Baby-Names, and are even considering using a masculine name. They want to pair this with a very classic, very feminine MN.
Round 4: Dom and Aderyn just had their last child, much to both of their disappointment. Aderyn was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and has been told that it is doubtful if, after treatment, she'll ever be able to have children again. Dom and Aderyn are very grateful for their latest child, a happy and healthy son! They want his FN to be from the following list:
http://nameberry.com/list/218/Yupster-Names-for-Boys. His MN should be a type of bird or have a bird meaning (to honor Aderyn's maiden name).
The Seymour Family
DH: Amaury Mael
DW: Audrey Jacquelyn (née Shells)
DD: Round 1:

Round 3: Many years have passed for the Seymour family, and the children have grown into adults. DD#1 has gotten married! Her DH's FN was popular/trendy in the 1970-1979 decade, and his MN is filler. DS#1 is in a very committed relationship with a girl. However, she isn't American/English/French, and they are having to smooth some differences over as they go. Her FN/MN is from her culture (you chose - this will also effect future rounds).
Round 4: DD#1/DH are expecting their first child, a daughter! They would like her FN to be popular/trendy in the 1970-1979 decade, but not currently in the top 100 names. They would like her MN to honor her grandmother (Audrey Jacquelyn (née Shells) Seymour)
The Nichols Family
DH: Kevin Alastar
DW: Nora Eileen (née Adams)

AS: Round 4
Round 3: Kevin and Nora are having yet another daughter! Kevin and Nora would like a FN that has a Celtic background, but is trendy/popular (think of the type of name with multiple spellings, many of which aren't uniqueek). Her MN should be after Celtic mythology or an ancient Celtic story.
Round 4: Kevin's cousin and his wife were killed in a car crash. Kevin and Nora are the children's godparents, and will be taking them in. Both boys have FN's from the Most Popular Names for Births in Ireland 2003 (
http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/100ir2003.php), and their MNs are very Irish.
The Stone Family
DH: Sam Michael

Round 3: Wonder of wonders, Sam and Emmy aren't having twins (and they are relieved!). They want their DS's FN to use one of the following nicknames:
http://nameberry.com/list/221/Nicknames-for-Boys (example: Gus could have the full name of August, Gustave, Angus, or others). His MN should have a "handsome/beautiful", "king/prince", or "lucky" sort of meaning.
Round 4: Sam and Emmy are having their final child, a daughter. They would like her FN to use one of the following nicknames:
http://nameberry.com/list/220/Nicknames-for-Girls. Her MN should have a "love/loving", "happy/joyous" or a flower sort of meaning.
The Flores Family
DH: Cesar Israel
DW: Penelope Magdalena (née Brown)

DS: Round 4
Round 3: Of all the things to happen, Cesar and Penelope conceived a child while not on vacation! This puts a crimp in the little naming game. They would like DD#2's FN to be a tree/plant name (not a flower!) or have a tree/plant (not flower) meaning. Her MN is related to music...since she was conceived... well, never mind :-P
Round 4: Cesar and Penelope have been spending a lot of time at home with their growing family lately. And now, their family is one bigger, as they welcome their son into it. DS#2's FN is a color or related to a color, and his MN is Spanish or honors his father.
