Round 1
The Evans Family
DH: Jonas Richard Evans (27)
DW: Sarah Elisabeth (MacAllister) Evans (25)
DS:
Jonas and Sarah have been married for three years now, ever since they graduated from college--Jonas with his degree in physical therapy and Sarah with her elementary education degree. Jonas works for a large hospital, while Sarah teaches second grade at a small private school. The two of them are hoping to start a family soon--Sarah never wanted kids until her sister, Hannah, gave birth to a son a few months ago. Sarah fell in love with her nephew and can't wait to have children of her own (and Jonas is totally on board--he's always wanted kids).
Jonas and Sarah are excited to announce they are expecting a little boy in just a few months! While they are looking forward to welcoming their little guy, they can't decide on a name. Jonas wants something strong, masculine, and traditional. Sarah is looking for a trendy, popular name that fits well with his cousin, Grayson Ryker.
The Connelly Family
DH: Adam Oliver Connelly (24)
DW: Lucia Vasilica (Petrovich) Connelly (24)
DS or DD:
Adam and Lucia met when Adam traveled to Romania on a humanitarian trip. Lucia was the group's translator. Adam and Lucia kept in touch for the following year and a half--with Adam taking two more trips to Romania. Last year, Adam proposed to Lucia, and she accepted! The green card application took longer than expected; however, everything finally came through and Adam and Lucia were married in a small, but elegant, ceremony. Now, two months after their wedding, Lucia is expecting their first child! The couple is already thinking about names, but don't yet know the gender of the baby--so they are looking for names for both boys and girls! Lucia has a strong preference for Romanian names, but would like her child's name to be easily pronounced by English speakers. Adam likes shorter names, but isn't picky about origin. He would like at least one of the child's names to honor one of his parents (Daniel Vincent and Amelia Rose).
The Lundgren Family
DH: Gustaf Tobias Lundgren (33)
DW: Vanja Agata (Johanssen) Lundgren (30)
DD/DD:
Gustaf and Vanja recently moved to the United States from Sweden, in order to be close to Vanja's family. Gustaf has a brother in the US as well, but hasn't talked to him in years. Gustaf found work as a systems analyst for a small computer firm, while Vanja is working at a daycare center. Gustaf and Vanja were elated when they found out they were expecting their first child a few months ago! They were surprised to find out several weeks later that they were expecting twins! Now, the Lundgrens are scrambling to figure out how their apartment will fit
two of everything baby-related--they're also trying to figure out names. They are having identical twin girls, according to the doctor. The Lundgren's aren't too picky about names and like nature names and names a little "off the beaten path". They are certain though, that they don't want "matchy" sounding names for their girls.
The McHale-Lawrence Family
DH: Isaiah Franklin McHale-Lawrence (19)
DW: Megan Isabelle (Martin) McHale-Lawrence (19)
DD:
Isaiah and Megan met in their freshman year of college and became immediately inseparable. Now, just over a year later, they are married and expecting a child of their own. Most of their friends think things moved a little quickly, but Isaiah and Megan are in love and can't imagine life apart from one another. In about four months, they will be welcoming a little girl. They are looking for a first name that is long and feminine, preferably with a nickname; and a middle name that is a word name. They'd like one of the names to start with the letter "I".
