Another couple years have passed, which of course means another baby for Alexis and Christopher. They’re expecting a boy this time.

---

His FN will be a saint from the New Testament. His MN will honor Alexis’s dad, whose name was fairly common in the US in the ‘70s, but now feels a bit dated.

With all of their kids out on their own, Persephone and Marija have loved having their city apartment back to themselves — but even more than that, they love being grandmothers and having Naim come stay with them for the weekend. Artemisia and Soheil have begun to establish their careers and got married last year. Now they’re expecting their second son.

---

He will have one Turkish name and one Persian name — though both should be distinctively either Turkish or Persian, not Arabic. You can choose which goes first.

Hannah and Tyler are doing well, happy to be raising tweens and teens and still spending lots of time at the beach. Seann and Roma have their hands full with a toddler and a second baby — a boy this time — on the way.

---

Over the past few years, Laird has been much more comfortable wearing feminine clothes and experimenting with makeup, and she's now using she/her pronouns. She’s been trying on different names to align with her gender presentation.

---

Laird’s new FN will be a name her parents considered for a girl when they were expecting her. It will fit in with Kizzy and Marley, but be unambiguously feminine. Her MN will be a feminine variation of Rey.

---

Seann and Roma’s baby’s FN and MN will be from this list and feel distinctively Brazilian (as opposed to generically Portuguese): https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/brazil/2000. He has a cute nickname that may make the name easier for English speakers.

DW (33): Sinclair Marie Elliot (Julia)
DH (34): Zephan Lorimer Spoon (Wordsmith)

DS (12): Hello Lorimer Spoon (ishild)
DD (10): Bye-Bye Elizabeth Spoon (Wordsmith)
DS (8): Hatchet Selton Spoon (Wordsmith)
DD (7): Bunny Poppet Spoon (Julia)
DS/DD (5): Woof Elliot Spoon & Meow Claire Spoon (Wordsmith)
DD:

---

With the arrival of Woof and Meow, the Spoon family really had it made — outrage, attention, and enough kids to catch people’s eyes in posed pictures for social media. But with the twins off to kindergarten, their material was running thin. Now they’re expecting another little girl!

---

Their daughter’s FN should be a wacky word name that starts with M. Her MN should be another wacky word name — and together, the names should make a familiar phrase (e.g. “Green Beans” or “Potato Head”…ok maybe not that wacky).

DD (3): Angely-Livia Arwen Margaret “Angel” Rosonkwo (ishild)
DS (1): Aphraim-Toby Zadok "Toby" Rosonkwo (Rowena)
DD:

---

With five — soon to be six — kids under 10, Lulu and Jonathan have returned to their native UK and leased a house, intending to stay put for a while. While they miss being on the road, they’re excited to be resting up ahead of their new daughter’s arrival.

---

Like her siblings, her FN will be hyphenated and begin with an A. The first part should be a place they’ve visted and the second part should be a common word name. She’ll have 2 MNs, one Igbo and one that’s relatively popular in a few different countries right now. You can choose the order.
