Wow, it's been 15 years for the Winthrop family. Oliver, Evie, Alfie and Joshua are all out of school! Oliver and Alfie are in college, and Joshua is taking a year to travel abroad. Evie is married! Freya and Grace are enjoying the relative quite of the household now, and are content finally being the only "children" in the house.
Oliver's Dgf's FN is a virtue name and her MN was popular/trendy in the 90's.
Evie's DH's FN contains an "n" followed by a "r" somewhere in the name. His MN contains an "t" followed by a "s" somewhere in the name.
Evie and her DH have also had twin boys! Both boy's FN have an origin (ie, Spanish, Irish, Arabic, etc.) other then English, and both FN's origins are different. DS#1's FN honors Evie's mom in someway, and his MN starts with a "M" and is three syllables. DS#2's FN honors the DH's mom (Iona Clementine), and his MN starts with a "M" and is three syllables.
Alfie's Dgf's FN/MN is Japanese.
Joshua's Dgf's FN/MN is Scandinavian (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish names).
The Resnik Family
DW: Elizabeth "Tibby" Veronica Resnik [36]
DH: Tobias "Toby" Alonzo (née Farkas) Resnik [35]
DS: Theodore "Ted" Julian Resnik [14] ►La Reina◄
DS: Laurence "Ren" Frederick Resnik [12] ►Wandering Moon◄

DS: _____ "_____" _____ Resnik [4]
DD: _____ "_____" _____ Resnik [2]
DD: _____ "_____" _____ Resnik [nb]
Tibby and Toby did just as they planned, and had children every 2 years. With the birth of their final daughter, they've finally decided that their family is finished. Tibby had a harder pregnancy then usual, and the doctors are worried about her age in any future pregnancies. Besides, they now have an equal number of boys and girls!
For their DS they want to use what might be considered an "outdated" FN. They also want his FN to have either a 3-letter nickname or a 1-syllable nickname. His MN is a classic, but would be considered nearly unique for this day-and-age, and
can be found on the following list:

For their DDs they want to use a timeless classic as a FN with a fun, 3-letter nickname. Their MNs are classic, but would be considered nearly unique for this day-and-age, and

The Segal/Seidel Family
DECEASED: Rylan Finn Seidel [Deceased @24]
DWidow: Cherish "Cherry" Rebecca (née Barton - Seidel) Segal [30]
DH: Bishop Cornelius Segal [33] ►molly◄
DS: Phineas "Finn" Humphrey Segal [14] ►Wandering Moon◄
DS: Barton Finnegan Seidel [14] ►ghost◄
DD: Arabella Madison Seidel [8] ►RowenaRavenclaw◄

DD/DD: _____ _____ Segal / _____ _____ Segal [nb]
Bishop and Cherry ended up engaged a year after they met, and married shortly afterwards. Bishop desperately wanted more children, but Cherry wasn't so sure (after all, she'd already given birth to 4 kids!). In the end, there was a romantic night and protection wasn't available. They ended up having a daughter. Wanting to have another child closer in age to her youngest, Cherry agreed when Bishop mentioned trying to have "just one more". Opps, twins must be in Cherry's genes because she once again had twin girls (fraternal this time).
Bishop loves funky-feeling, old-fashioned names. Cherry, however, likes the more cutting-edge, trendy names. Both agree that the twin's FNs/MNs should be unique to each girl and not matched/themed. However, beyond that they are having trouble finding common ground. Do what you can to help the two compromise on the names of their daughters (both parents should be happy with each child's name!).

ExMistress: Scarlett Rose Masson [27] ►K.B.◄
--DW: _____ _____ Byrd [28]DS: Apollonius "Apollo" Percival William Bartleby Masson [6] ►La Reina◄
DMistress: _____ _____ Hart [21]
Rufus is up to his old tricks again. A little over three years ago he started to find Scarlett "too old". At the same time, Scarlett had found that Rufus had provided all of the usefulness he was going to, and preferred to spend time with Apollo. In no time, Rufus had a new mistress and only visited the Masson residents to visit with his son (whom he truly did love).
This relieved Scarlett greatly, and allowed her a chance to find a new relationship. This time she went for love, and found it with a former escort (who also happened to be wealthy). The two understand each other's past and feel compassion for the choices each made. The two were married in a private ceremony. Surprisingly, Elodie gave Scarlett away. The two had become quite good friends.
Elodie has adopted two more children. Each from a different nation. With 9 children, she's found joy as a mother, something she never expected. Rufus doesn't even bother to sleep in the same room as Elodie. Like Scarlett, Elodie is greatly relieved. Unlike Scarlett, Elodie hasn't pursued any other relationships. Friendships and motherhood are enough for her.
Rufus found an eighteen year-old who was more then willing to be his mistress in exchange for tuition to college and other "perks". Elodie has learned from Scarlett to not worry about Rufus' mistresses. This time she's befriended the young girl and has told her about Rufus' trickery with birth control. The mistress has been very very careful to keep it away from Rufus (much to his frustration - he would like another son... just because).
Luckily, Rufus has been busy making more and more money. And the women in his life are more then willing to help liberate him of it. He briefly considered divorcing Elodie, until he found out that she would get more out of him in the divorce (from his cheating) then he was willing to part with. Rufus just doesn't understand how it is that he is treated so "wrongly" by all of these females. If it wasn't for the fact that his latest mistress was so hot and so amazingly fun, he would turn her in for a younger (but he's sure that will cost him too!).
AD's (age 4) FN is a somehow related to music and her MN is Chinese.
AD's (age 1) FN Russian, and her MN relates to snow/winter.
