The Norkipp family has again grown by two, and William and Spoorthi are feeling they've got a well-rounded bunch and their family may be complete. It's a full house, as both parents do much of their work from home and the older kids have online education. Teachers are one of the most valued professions, one that most agree can never be performed as well by robots, and much teaching is done one on one or in small groups to fit the needs of the students. It's harder to meet these ratios with the smaller population of the moon, but this method allows the Norkipps to connect with a teacher back on Earth.

DS: [exp]

Jayne and Wisdom have decided to stay on the moon, though they've enjoyed several long vacations to Earth. They've recently decided to grow their family again, though Wisdom doesn't want to risk another pregnancy at her age. Instead, they're taking advantage of the wonders of modern technology, which can incubate an entire "pregnancy" in a lab. The kids really appreciate how they can check up on their little brother as he's growing.

DS has a name with an uplifting meaning not currently in the US top 1000. His MN celebrates the natural beauty of earth: either a nature name or a place name relating to nature (such as a mountain or river as opposed to a city, country, etc)

The Atkins Family

---

DF: [38] Arwolf Zeus Atkins (Zhara)
DW: [35]

---

DR: Indigo "Indy" (Rowena Ravenclaw)

---

DS: [9] Aleksandr Perseus Atkins (estel)
DD: [7] Artemis Luxuriae Atkins (Bitey)
DD: [1]

---

Arwolf felt sure he was happy with a long term romantic relationship - and then he met his new wife! The two started seeing each other casually, but before long fell deeply in love. Aleksandr and Artemis were a bit wary at first, but adjusted to their new stepmom, and happily welcomed a new little sister. After the new baby was born, Arwolf's wife decided she'd like to be a stay at home mom - and so, despite the kids' protests, Indy would no longer be needed. In a landmark case, Indy was awarded partial custody of Aleksandr and Artemis, and has them on the weekends - when not at their new job nannying for another family.

DW's FN is either a diminutive or an elaboration of a common English name (existing or invented.) She has two middle names - one is a surname not commonly used as a given name, and one is short and feminine. Her maiden name has a double letter, and she'll hyphenate it with Atkins.

---

DD has a name starting in A that fits with her siblings in style. She also has two middle names: one is from mythology and the other is your choice. Her surname is Atkins.
