These are in rounds, but anyone can join in at any time! Just remember, once the new round is started I don't go back and take into consideration anyone else's additions.

James & Violet have recently been sent information on a little girl they are adopting from China. All they know is she is a sweet, smiley girl named Min. They would like to keep her first name as a middle name or as a name that includes the sequence of letters Min-, -min-, or -min. They would like the other name to be related to a flower.

Single mom Yemanya has been fostering 3 siblings, all of whom will have finalized adoptions in one week! Each one has expressed interest in changing their names completely, to cut ties with their past trauma. They would like to take an African American (http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/african-american) name to honor their heritage, and want to take a west African(http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/western-african) name to honor Yemanya's heritage.

Franklin and Gina both have dwarfism and always thought of adopting children to "match" their family. They received a call recently about their placement, a Russian girl, given the pseudonym Dasha! They know its corny, but immediately after hearing her name they couldn't help but think they wanted to name her with a hyphenated name. They want to choose another Russian diminutive as the middle name (http://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/usage/russian/description/diminutive).

Mike and Shirley have been waiting for a baby for years and their dreams are finally coming true...identical twin girls! They were born today and they want to finalize their names before they bring the girls home. They want to choose a name that will honor the girls' very selfless mother, Elizabeth "Liz." But they can't settle on variations of Elizabeth (http://www.behindthename.com/name/elizabeth/related). Then, they want to give the girls each a middle name that will somehow continue to connect them their entire lives, either names with the same initial, meaning, theme, etc.

Jordan and Cadence adopted two boys two years ago and now their birth mother is giving custody of her newborn son to Jordan and Cadence. The birth mom, Cherrie, requested that the new baby have the name of a world leader as a first name (she doesn't care from what country) to go along with his older brothers' names. and Jordan and Cadence want to honor this request. They are equally excited to choose whatever middle name they like, as they have never had the chance to name a child before!
