DD:
Tim and Abby went through a difficult time in their marriage a few years ago, but with counseling and a lot of hard work, they got through it, and now they're closer than ever. They even went on a second honeymoon, which made them nostalgic for the early years of their marriage when their children were small. They decided they'd like to have one more baby, and now they're expecting a daughter.
In the twelve years since their youngest was born, their naming taste has changed somewhat. Their older kids have admitted that they sometimes get annoyed at having to explain that their names aren't short for anything. For this child, they'd like to use a first name that is short, simple, and cute, but still considered a full name. They still like old-fashioned middle names.

It has been quite a year for the Bedrosian family. Isaiah and Myra have taken in three foster children, eight-year-old twins and their five-year-old brother. The twins' first names are anagrams of each other, and their middle names rhyme. The younger boy has a first name that starts with the same letter as his older brother's first name, and his middle name is from the Bible.
Just as their foster children were getting settled in, the Bedrosians got a big surprise. Joshua came home from college with a new girlfriend. Her name is Mariah Zima, she's a twin, and she has the same middle name as his mother, which is pretty cool. Oh, and she's also pregnant with a baby girl.
Despite her reservations about the situation, Myra warmed up to Mariah fairly quickly, and they have been discussing names. They have decided to create a new family tradition by passing down their unusual middle name and giving the new baby a first name starting with M.
