Three years have gone by and Keith and Valerie are expecting another child. They want the first name to fit in with his or her sisters', and the middle name to be from the Tswana language. (Here are some links: http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/tswana and http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/category-tswana-names.html)

The Vãduva family have been in Canada for two years now and are expecting another daughter. They want another easy-to-pronounce Romanian first name. For the middle name they have chosen a name that is familiar to English speakers, but sounds dated.

DH: Nathan Lester Curtis (38)

ADD: (6)

Scott and Nathan are having a wonderful time raising their son. But when Laszlo is four, they get some sad news: their close friend Holly Julia Quarterman was killed in an accident, leaving behind her daughter, who she was raising on her own. Scott and Nathan agree to take in her daughter. Her first name is in the top 100 for the UK, and her middle name is after one of Holly's favourite authors.

---

They of course let Holly's daughter bring her pet cat with her too. The cat is named after a character from a children's book. You can pick the cat's gender and colour.

Helen and Roger are having one more child. They are keeping the gender a surprise this time. Again, they want the first name to be a longer surname with a nickname. For the middle name they want to honour at least one of their parents: Helen's are Donald Lawrence and Gail Theresa; Roger's are Dennis Reginald and Rosemary Pauline. It can be the same name or a variation.
