Joey and Naveen got married three years ago and have two daughters together, a toddler and a newborn. Their first names are Indian but also work well in English. The two-year-old's middle name is after a famous artist. The baby's middle name honors Joey's grandmother, Judith Carol, who recently passed away. Both children's last names are Joshi.

---

Sandy also got married, and he and his wife are expecting a little boy. His wife's first name is commonly used as a "filler" middle name. Her middle name starts and ends with the same letter and her last name is three syllables. Their son's first name is Biblical and his middle name is from this list: http://nameberry.com/list/241/Cool-Boy-Names-From-Ancient-Cultures?all=1. You pick his last name(s).

A lot has happened in the Mitchell/Colquhoun family in the last ten years! Lucas and Maialen are expecting a baby girl. Her first name is Spanish and her middle name is Basque. You choose her last name.

---

Santiago has gotten married and he and his wife have a two-year-old son. His wife's name is Russian. Their son has one Spanish name and one Russian name (you pick the order) and his last name is Mitchell.

---

Leah and Oliver have also gotten married, and they have a five-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter. Their children have first names that increased a lot in popularity from 2013 to 2014, but are not necessarily very popular yet. (See here for ideas: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/rankchange.html.) Their middle names are classics.

---

Gabriel's ex-girlfriend recently showed up at his door with a newborn...his daughter. She couldn't cope with motherhood and left the baby with him. It's been a difficult few months, but his parents have been supportive and Gabriel is committed to raising his little girl as well as he can. Her first name is a word and her middle name honors one of her grandparents (Gabriel's parents).

His first and middle names should not be Biblical and should come from one of these lists:
