Help[Games] Saphir's NTNB - Round 1
The Novak-Hisakawa Family
London, England
DW1 [26]:
DW2 [28]:
This couple met at university 7 years ago, but only became a couple 4 years later. They recently got married and have moved from Manchester, where they studied, to a flat in London. DW1 is an assistant coach at a high-profile women’s football team - she played professionally herself until she suffered a career-ending injury when she was 21. She is from Slovenia: her first name is the Slovenian feminine form of a masculine name and her middle name is of Slavic origin (http://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/usage/slovene/origin/slavic). DW2 is a librarian from Japan - her first name is Japanese and can be masculine or feminine, and she has no middle name. Their surname is Novak-Hisakawa.
The St Pierre Family
Liège, Belgium
Dbf [18]:
Dgf [18]:
DS or DD [exp]:
Dbf and Dgf are both in their last year of secondary school, and have been together for just over 6 months. Recently, they found out that, much to their surprise, they are expecting a child. Although neither of them feel particularly prepared, they agreed that they wanted to keep the baby, and are now scrambling to find baby clothes and furniture, as well as a name. Dbf’s first and middle names are both long and French, and his surname is St Pierre. Dgf’s family is Moroccan - her first and middle names, and her surname, are all Arabic, and she has a short, easily pronounceable nickname. They’ve decided not to find out the baby’s gender, and so need a name for both: they want the first name to be a short French name, and the middle name to be Arabic. The child will take Dbf’s surname.
The Sinclair Family
Edinburgh, Scotland
DW [29]:
DH [30]:
DW and DH were childhood friends who grew up together in the same small village, but drifted apart as they got older. After a chance meeting in Edinburgh 4 years ago, they began dating, and recently got married. DW is an art teacher at a local secondary school - her first name is a somewhat “out there” nature or word name, her middle name is traditional and slightly dated, and her maiden name is Scottish. DH is an NHS nurse, and his first and middle names begin with the same letter. Their surname is Sinclair.
The Carroll Family
New York, USA
DH [45]:
ExW [43]:
DS [16]:
DW [25]:
DH is a successful actor who recently went through a rather unfortunate midlife crisis - one in which he had an affair with a costar twenty years his junior, divorced his wife and mother of his teenage son, married the aforementioned young woman, and decided he would become a connoisseur of fine wines. Needless to say, neither his ex-wife nor his son are too pleased, and his new wife is struggling to adjust to her new life. DH’s first name is a traditional masculine name, and his middle name was ranked in the top 100 in 1974 - his surname is Carroll. His ex-wife’s first name works in both English and Spanish, her middle name is a flower name, and she has taken back her maiden name, which is Spanish. Their son’s first name is more commonly a surname, his middle name is Spanish, and his surname is Carroll. The new wife’s first name is a less common spelling of a common name, her middle name is after a character from a well-known book or movie, and her maiden name is ranked 900-1000 in the US.
