Now that Ashton and Sarah’s kids are getting to be preteens, they decided it was a good time to adopt again. They recently brought home a baby boy from Nigeria whose birth name was Azubuike. Ashton and Sarah decided to keep his birth name as his middle name and gave him a traditional first name.

Although Sydney and Gabriel always planned on having five kids, when Sydney got pregnant with her fourth child she was nervous that her kids, especially her teenaged daughter, wouldn’t want to deal with another baby. On the contrary, Kajsa was super excited by the prospect and the kid not entirely happy about it was Thorsten. When their baby brother was born yesterday, however, everyone was delighted. Gabriel and Sydney can’t imagine their family without him. He has a non-English first name and a dated middle name.

It’s a boy! Noa and Max welcomed their second son and fourth child earlier today. Adam was relieved when he turned out to be a boy; he had been afraid that the house would become overrun with girls. His parents gave their new son a longer, dated first name and a trendy middle name.

Erin and Gus have been married for three years and have only just welcomed their first child, a son. The little boy has become an instant celebrity within the Milton family, and Harriet and Annaliese (now college students) keep stopping by to coo at him. Erin and Gus gave him a strong Scottish first name and a middle name that honors Thomas.

It’s a boy! Wil was especially overjoyed when him and Bekah found out they were expecting their first son. The girls were somewhat disappointed (boys have cooties!), but they have decided that having a brother isn’t the end of the world and Ellie plans to train him to be a dog instead. Wil and Bekah want a classic name for their son, but they don’t want it to be too common. His middle name is relatively long.

It’s been five years since Ty was adopted and he has settled in to the Barton family perfectly. He and Poppy are studying the same sort of stuff in school so they help each other out with homework and academics, while he and Tamsin enjoy playing sports and games together in their free time. All the kids are excited about Colleen’s recent pregnancy and are eagerly awaiting their new brother. Margaret and Colleen have been trying hard to find the perfect name for their incoming son. They want his first name to begin with P and have a similar feel to Tybalt while not too different from Polly and Tamsin. He should also have two middle names—one Irish and one very British.

Tony and Christina waited a fairly long time until having more children, and they were relieved they did when they found out they were having twins. Mattie and Tommy are in the same grade at school and pretend to be twins most of the time, but their parents didn’t actually think they’d have real twins! They decided to give both girls English first names of Greek origin, and Penny picked out their middle names from relatively minor Harry Potter characters.

After the twins were born Carl and Annika were told that they couldn’t have any kids due to complications with the birth. They had been considering adoption anyways, so when Bo and Stina were three they first began talking to an adoption agency. This year they were set up with a three-year-old from India, and they brought him home not long ago. They kept his original first name (an Indian name that makes sense in English as well) and gave him a vintage English middle name.

In the past two years Nadia has pretty much stopped rebelling for he sake of rebelling, and she and Harrison are renting an apartment together and will be attending university in the fall. They planned everything out, but they hadn’t accounted for twins! Nadia accidentally got pregnant earlier this year, and she and Harrison decided to keep the babies. They gave their children very unusual first names that still sound attractive and have legit roots. Their middle names are your choice.

Elliot and Audrey welcomed their last child this week. The little girl has been a very quiet baby so far which concerned her parents, but the doctors say that there’s nothing wrong. The older kids are certainly not complaining about the lack of wailing. Just like their other kids, Elliot and Audrey gave their new daughter a five-letter long first name that’s rising in popularity. Her middle name is quite short.

Andrew and Rachel were contacted by the same agency that they adopted Gabriel from about a little Ukrainian girl that needs a home. Luke wasn’t even one at the time and Andrew and Rachel knew that having two one year-olds would be a challenge, but they decided it would be good for the whole family and recently brought their new daughter home. They gave her a classic Biblical name that’s fairly popular. Her middle name is her original Ukrainian name.

Zaylee started school this fall and her parents were surprised to see other girls with names like Kayleigh and Haeley. Now that Leah is expecting another son, they want to make sure that his name isn’t remotely similar to any current trends. They found the perfect middle name for him already. It’s an English word that isn’t related to nature.

His first name is short and very casual while his middle name is modern.

His middle name is a French form of an English name.

It’s a boy! Oscar and Jane were happy to add another son into their family. They are having quite the dilemma: they’re getting tired of the name theme! They don’t love any other names that fit the theme they started with their first three, but they don’t want him to feel left out either. It is your choice whether they settle for a name they like (but don’t love) that begins with S or scrap the theme and choose a name entirely different.
