[Games] Lynxosophy's NTNB Part 0
Hi! I thought I would have a crack at doing a NTNB, I hope I do this right and everyone enjoys it! I thought it would be fun to follow two families from around the 1940s up until maybe 2060 and see what sort of names people might think are going to become popular in the future. Let's start with the DHs and DWs plus children of the families for part 0.

Family One (The ___ Family)DH [b. 1943]:
DW [b. 1941]:DS [b. 1969]:

Family Two (The ___ Family)DH [b. 1940]:
DW [b. 1945]:DD1 [b. 1965]:
DD2 [b. 1969]:

Family One and Family Two have been at odds with one another ever since they can remember, but nobody knows the reason why. It's said that many centuries ago a son of the founder of Family Two killed a daughter of Family One after she refused his hand in marriage, and the family retaliated by stealing all of Family Two's wealth, but there isn't any evidence to prove this. The year is 1970 and the feud is very much still ongoing, but Family One has had enough and has decided to move back to where their family originated from in Wales, whilst Family Two stays put in Scotland.Family One's Story
DH moved away from his parents' home in Betwys-y-Coed, Wales at the age of 18 after learning that his father wasn't his biological father, and attempted to track his real father down in Edinburgh, Scotland. He managed to get a job washing dishes at a small but popular café in the city where he met DW, who was working as a waitress at the time. DW was close friends with DH of Family Two, but after she began spending more time with Family One DH the two fell out and the feud between the two families was reignited. DW helped DH try and track down his father, but they were unsuccessful in finding him and DH chose to move on with his life. DH soon began training as a chef, and became the café's head chef the same year that he married DW. They later had DS and lived very peacefully, avoiding Family Two where they could, but after an incident at a mother's meet up between DS and Family Two's DD2, DH and DW made the decision to move back to Betwys-y-Coed where they planned on opening their own restaurant.Family One's LN is either Devereux, Eubanks, Ives or YorkDH's FN is Welsh and his MN is a classic English nameDW's FN is a Scottish variant of an English name and her MN is a 5 letter long English name, her maiden name is a Scottish surname that starts with “Mac”DS's FN is a Welsh variant of an English name and his MN is Scottish
Family Two's Story
DH has grown up being in an affluent household, though his father hasn't been the same since the war and places a lot of pressure on DH to continue his family's legacy. DH studied Physics at University where he met DW, an Englishwoman studying Classical Literature. DH's childhood friend, Family One's DW, soon introduced him to Family One's DH, and he was excited to make a new friend although found his surname to be familiar. It was only when DH told his father about Family One's DH that he learned of the feud between their families, and that Family One was "the enemy" according to DH's father. DH tried to get his childhood friend on his side, but she wouldn't listen to him and he lost a treasured friend. DH's father passed away when he was 22 and he accrued his family's wealth only to learn that all he had inherited were his father's debts and he fell into a great depression, though DW was there to support him. Together they published a successful physics textbook for school children, and used the profits to get married. DH found a job as a lecturer at the University he studied at, whilst DW was a SAHM to their two daughters DD1 and DD2 whilst she wrote mystery adventure novels. After an incident involving DD2 and Family One's DS, DH threatened all of Family One, causing them to move away for good.Family Two's LN is a Scottish highland clan name from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scottish_clansDH's FN and MN are both ScottishDW's FN originates in Arthurian Romance and her MN is a 3 syllable English name, her maiden name is an English surname that ends in “well”DD1's FN is a flower name and her MN is a 1 syllable English nameDD2's FN is a Greek or Roman Goddess and her MN is ScottishHave fun!Edited to add: I forgot to include details of the DWs’ maiden names, sorry I was very tired when I posted this! For people who have already answered, don’t worry, your answers are still valid!
