The Bryants - Long BeachDH (22): Paul Harold Bryant
(Darkbone)DW (22): Zahra Malika Bryant née Jones
(RowenaRavenclaw)
DS1 (1):
(DS was a surprise. Zahra’s career was unfortunately put on hold just when she had been promoted. Paul’s career, on the other hand, has sky-rocketed. All the changes have been stressful but both Paul and Zahra are committed to keeping things together. They now live in a trendy waterfront condo which was unimaginable to them not so long ago.)
DS’s FN is within the top 20 in relative rank in the US, 1970-79 (https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/united-states-decade/1970?sort=rank_change) and his MN is either his mother’s maiden name or after his father.
The Campbells - ChicoDH (28): Finlay Montgomery Campbell
(Evey)DW (24): Clémentine Aude Campbell née Tremblay
(ishild)
DD1 & DD2 (2):
(Finlay is now a clinical psychologist and Clémentine still works at the library (and as a translator) though she has her eyes set on becoming a linguistics professor and is continuing schooling. Both parents are often so busy they don’t see their two girls until the evening. This is difficult for them but they try their best to make the time with their daughters count and go on family vacations whenever possible. They now live in a large family home.)
DD1’s FN is after a female Nobel laureate (pre-1971) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_Nobel_laureates#Laureates) and her MN is French.
DD2’s FN is Ancient Greek and her MN is French.
The Corderos - Chula VistaDH (26): Alfonso Juan David Cordero
(SugarPlumFairy)DW (26): Joyce Terezia Cordero née Whittemore
(Remora L.)
DS1 (2):
(Joyce and Alfonso were both desperate to begin a family and they’ve created a nice, comfy home for themselves. It took some time for both of their families to set aside their differences but the birth of a grandchild has helped speed that process along. They live in a newly constructed home close to the Bayside.)
DS1’s FN is after/inspired by his paternal grandfather: Roberto Armando, his 1st MN is after his maternal grandfather: Martin Dominik, his 2nd MN is Biblical.
The Gavonnes - San FranciscoDH (25): Julius Anthony Gavonne
(egyptianpanda)DW (24): Tennessee Shawna Gavonne née White "Tessa"
(estel)
DD1 (nb):
(Julius has gradually been able to sell more and more of his sculptures, people are finally catching on. Tessa has continued her work as a yoga instructor which is still quite prosperous if not more due to the open-minded community of SF. They still live in the co-op because they’re so happy there but are considering moving into a house to raise their little girl.)
DD1’s FN is inspired by her Zodiac: Libra (air elemental, ruled by Venus), and her MN is Arabic.
