[Games] Re: AM's Initials CAF. (finished)
LN: Coté
DGP: Thelonius "Tillo" Ellington
DGM: Una Nathalie [née Rhett]
Thelonius was the only name his parent's could agree on, and he received his mother's maiden name as his MN. His older brother couldn't say Thelonius and started calling him "Tillo".
Una was the 9th child, her older sister (the 7th child) picked out her FN from a fairytale princess. Her eldest brother (1st child) picked out her MN from a girl in his French class.DS1: Rupert Tomas (51)
DS2: Julien Rhett (49)
DD1: Karina Rhoda (48)
DS3: Tobias Clyde (37)
Rupert was named for Tillo's and Una's best friend, and his MN honors Tillo's older brother.
Julien was named after Una's father, and carries her maiden name as his MN.
Karina was the hardest child they had to name. It wasn't until the hospital sent a "friendly reminder" home a month after her birth that they finally put a name on her birth certificate. Her FN was the name of the secretary who sent out the reminder and her MN was pulled out of the air by her father.
Tobias was named by his older siblings. Julien and Karina loved the name Tobias, as it was the hero of a story. Rupert picked Clyde because it was the name of his favorite horse.

LN: Coté
DW: Demelza "Mel" Kelly [née Griffin] (33)
DD: Idony Karma (6)
DS: Griffin Day (3)
DD: Freya Navy (nb)
Tobias and Mel wanted to give their children an individual and unique name. They chose to look towards mythology (Mel's passion) to find their first names. They wanted word names that described an event relating to their birth. Idony's middle name is Karma, because Mel felt it was fated that she meet her daughter that day. Griffin's middle name is Day because he wasn't born until Mel saw the sun peaking in the window. Likewise, Freya's middle name is Navy because Mel watched the sky turn a deep shade of navy while giving birth.

Idony, Griffin, and Freya
