[Games] Simple Story Congrats Round 3
HeidiAnn needs to make up the last two rounds or she will be dropped. Bea109 needs to make up last round.
Sorry for the long wait, but classes have been very hectic this last week! I have decided that until after Thanksgiving (next Thursday to any of my non-American players), each family will have single births. That means you no longer have to roll the dice for the next few rounds, and the only thing to be decided is the sex of the baby. This will be answered by the flip of the coin. I used your flips from last round to determine this round, but the dice roll I ignored.
It's been two and a half years since the birth of your last child/ren. DW and DH both love their growing family, as both always wanted a big family. DW is still going strong with her name theme, but she is jumping from inspiration to inspiration for the rest of the naming process. This time, she is using her recent research on her and her husband's geneologies to find a name. She and DH have settled on a beautiful FN.s that reflects their child/ren's ancestry. The MN/s is left up to DH, who favors more old-fashioned names(names that were popular at least a hundred years ago). Update on your family. Have they had to move into a bigger house? How is/are the oldest kid/s enjoying school? How do DH and DW feel about having them in kindergarten now? What is the new baby like? How do the older siblings feel about her/him?
For FNs: if you have used your couple's heritage as inspiration before, try and use a nationality you haven't used before. I.e. if your couple is Irish, French, and Italian and you have a daughter named Arianna, use an Irish or French name.

It’s the middle of September 2017 and Lilia just recently had her 36th birthday. Russel and Lilia found themselves pregnant unexpectedly; they hadn’t planned on it for a year or two more, since triplets is such a hand full. They decided to keep the baby even though he may have Waardenburg Syndrome, and they weren’t quite ready. They figure at worse he will be deaf like Julian. Since they would never give up Julian they know that they would never want to give up this child. Their baby is due in December.
Julian is very independent and feisty. He loves to read and is a very quick learner. Julian and his parents ski during the winter. Julian really loves it. Just like most young skiers he shows no fear. Julian since he was four has been going to the Maryland School for the Deaf. It’s a free program and serves pre-school through High school. It was great to be able to send Julian to school there so he could be around other deaf and hard of hearing children. He just started Kindergarten. Lilia and Russel have had their hands full with the triplets but Lilia’s parents often come to help. Lilia’s parents are looking for a place near by so then they can watch the children and help that way. Even living an hour and a half away, is too far away. Lilia has had to only work part time since she had Julian. Maybe eventually she’ll be able to work full time again.
Viola gets into a lot of trouble and loves to talk with her hands and mouth, Emile isn’t very talkative but he loves to move around and explore, Linus loves trains and insects and being read to and is very candid when he speaks.
Lilia’s sister Frieda has her 1st baby on October 30th with her long time boyfriend Christopher Quaid. They have a son who they name Cameron Oliver Quaid. If it had been a girl she would have been Louisa Nightingale Quaid. After donating her eggs to her sister she decided that she wanted to have children.

Question...
What is considered a popular name? Any name within the top 1000 or any name within the top 100, or any name within the top 50 of your families country?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Anything within the top 20 is considered popular. After that the names are common, but not something ten people in the kid's class will be likely to have.

After two and a half years, Wil and Bekah welcome another little boy into the family. His name is Robert Henry Thompson--very official sounding. Bekah has been doing some research into the genealogy of both hers and Wils' families, and found that Robert has been a common name throughout both ancestries. She let Wil pick the middle name and he chose Henry because he liked the way it sounded. Now that the triplets are getting ready to go to school (they skipped Kindergarten), Wil and Bekah have decided that its time to move to a place with a really good school district. They moved about twenty minutes from their old house into a bigger one with five bedrooms. Brooke, Kailee, and Elena share the largest bedroom (besides the master), Levi has his own room, and Bobby is in the nursery. The other two bedrooms Wil transformed into an office and a play room for the kids.

Lainey found herself pregnant again and, surprise, she had another little boy. Gabriel and Lainey decided to go with an Irish first name because Lainey's Grandmother is Irish. Upon Mannix's birth they found that this name was very appropriate because he was the first of their four children to inheret Lainey's auburn hair. Mannix also has Lainey's skin but Gabriel's deep brown eyes. Jayden and Kylar are in kindergarten now and are really enjoying it, Lainey is happy for her eldest boys but can't help but miss them around the house sometimes during the day. Mannix cries the least out of his brothers but he is also the fattest, being born at 10 lbs. 3 ounces, he seems to be curious about everything - something he got from Gabriel no doubt - and is overall very happy. Jayden and Kylar love their younger brother and are always willing to lend a hand with him but Leonard feels kind of threatened since he isn't the baby of the family any more.
Thanks for fixing Lainey's name for me.

DD: Francesca Citlali
Jake & Sloane have welcomed baby number 6, a daughter named Francesca Citlali. They decided, this time, to pick a name from Sloane's ancestry. Sloane is part French, Italian, Irish and Native American. Since they've used french names for their twins, Leo and Amelie, they decided to pick from either Italian, Irish, and Native American. Neither Jake nor Sloane liked any of the Irish names they've research so they decided to combine Italian and Native American. The Native American name they picked, Citlali, means "star".
As for the rest of the family? Well, having Francesca was a blessing but it also meant the family was cramp in their small house, so they decided to move. The house is bigger, with 6 bedrooms and a lot more running space for the kids. The move has also meant a new school for the triplets, who are now in kindergarten. They are enjoying their new school and had made friends. Everything is going well for the Holden family and they can't wait to see what happens next!

Citlali is a native mexican name technically. But it's all good. ^_^

Maggie and Gabe loved having the twins, but were very, very thankful that she was only having one this time. Luckily Arianna and Josef are well on their way to being potty trained, so soon they will only have one set of diapers to deal with. Maggie and Gabe were very happy to have their son, but after being unable to find another flower that wouldn't get their son laughed at they decided to expand their theme to all plants. Having used Maggie's Italian heritage for Arianna, they decided to use Gabe's Irish heritage for Quinn. Maggie secretly wanted Rowan as his MN, but she agreed to Basil after Gabe found it on his family tree. He liked the old-fasionedness of it. The kids all love Quinn. The twins are fasinated by him and have not, as yet, been jealous. Lily is very helpful after school. Lily loves school, and her teacher says she is very bright. With an English teacher for a mom at home, she could read by the time she started pre-K at four, and her kindergaren teacher loves to have her go and read to other classes. Gabe and Maggie are very proud of her.
