Hannah and Beth are adopting their first child, a baby girl from China. Her name is Yu Ling. They plan to change it, but would like to find an English name that honors her Chinese name in some way, for example, by sharing its meaning, or by having a similar sound.

Laura and Mark are expecting boy/girl twins. They have moderate tastes: they don't like names that are really strange or unheard of, but don't want to use extremely popular names, either. They would like the twins' names to be related without being super themey.

Daniel and Brian are adopting a child from within their own country (the US). They've been matched with a pregnant mother; they'll adopt the baby as soon as it is born (they don't know the gender yet). They get to name their child, and they would like to honor the birthmother. Her name is Claire Grant. They want the name to recognize her without literally being her name.

DD: or DS: Clara Louise or Branden Grant

P.S. I got Branden from putting Daniel and Brian together.
