It turned out that Keith and Valerie were having twins! Five years later, they decide to return to Canada, but they have adopted a little boy from Botswana to return with them. His first name should fit with his siblings and start with the same letter as his middle name. His middle name is his original birth name, which is from the Tswana language.

Doru and Rodica are welcoming their fourth child, a little brother for Răzvan, Gabriela and Daria. They want his first name to be a Romanian version of a common/familiar name (like his brother - Mihai is a form of Michael). His middle name is short and simple.

The loss of her mother was really hard on Phoebe, but she has settled in well and enjoys living with Scott and Nathan, and has become really close to her little brother Laszlo. Thorin and Aslan also get along well!
Now, Scott and Nathan have welcomed a daughter with the help of a surrogate mother. Her first name is from one of these lists:

They are big fans of Tolkien (hence their dog's name) and want her middle name to be from the Middle-Earth universe.

The Beckhouse family was surprised with one more child. They want just one unisex combination they can use: the first name should be a short surname this time, and the middle name should be an older/"vintage" unisex name (e.g. Leslie) rather than a more modern one (e.g. Addison).

Cary met her boyfriend at university, where she is studying history. His first and middle names are both one syllable, and his last name is Czech.
