Nick is four now and Mari is 7. Alexandra is pregnant with a girl, due in about a month. But she and Joe can't decide on names. He wants a swedish name, but Alexandra has been insisting on an italian name. At least they've agreed that the middle name will be greek.

Lars, Ella and Abby (5 years old) were thrilled when they heard the news: Ella is pregnant with twins! Two girls. Joachim persuaded Ella that they wouldn't use names like "Abby Gail". Ella would like to name one of the girls Apple, but Joachim doesn't like the idea. They've agreed that Apple will be her nickname, but they don't know for which name. The second twin will have a three-syllable name, possibly Irish or Scottish. The middle names must honor the parents in some way.

Maggie (10) really adores her little brother Staffan (4). She's a great big sister. Now Lina is pregnant again! Another brother for Maggie. Lina and Stan asked her what she would name him, and they liked her suggestion, Aneirin, so much that they're actually going to name him that. The middle name is a slight problem, because they think of a right one. They want a name that was popular in France in 2004.
