Tiffany and
Jake were really pleased with their compromise naming
Xander.
Tiffany calls him
Alexander most of the time, but there is a really different nickname that
Jake can call him, too. Now, they are expecting another boy, and
Jake is set on
Jett.
Tiffany is hoping to find a more classic name to use that has the nickname
Jett, because
Jett is too modern for her tastes. As for middle names,
Tiffany wants to incorporate her heritage with a name from Sweden. She wants the name to be easy to pronounce and not to foreign looking.

RJ and
Laura were relieved to have a girl, saving them from having to decide whether or not to carry on RJ's name. They both love the fun, lighthearted style of
Lila's name, especially
Richard since he grew up with such a serious name.
Lila's name, however, was greatly criticized by the extended family as being too cutesy and not commanding enough. RJ and
Laura are expecting another girl, and they are really torn about how to handle the naming situation. They have decided to please the in-laws with at least one "serious" name, but they do want one light, pretty name as well. Again, they would like to carry on the J initial, but they want to refrain from another L name.

Ethan and
Cassidy absolutely adore the addition of little
Devin into their family, and they are so excited to bring more children into their home. Although it has only been one year since
Devin's arrival, the couple is excited to have more children in their family. They have chosen twins from Russia, two little boys. The experience of being parents has been such a positive one, they would like to honor it by using a name meaning mother for one child's first mn (they want two mns again), and a name meaning father for the other child's first mn. For each child's second middle name, they would like a name meaning either son or brother. As for the first names, they would like to use Russian names. They want the children to feel "normal" in the U.S., however, so they want to use names fairly common in the states.
