"We should think about names. We haven't really talked about names since Bella and Luke got back from America," I say after French 101.

"I thought those were our options," Ethan replies.

"You are such a simplistic man; we need more options. Is Charlie all you like for a boy?"

"No, of course not, we need middle names."

"See," I say poking his cheek, "We should have French names, because your French."

"What about you?"

"Me? Well I'm a lot so I just go by Australian which is the only one I am fully. You have strong French roots therefore you are French."

"But you have some roots in England, you name comes from the largest river in England. We should have English names because you are English," Ethan says poking my cheek.

"I'm still part Russian and every other European country."

"Italian, French, Irish, Hungarian and Austrian are not the only places in Europe."

"I'm a mixture of everything ok? I'm probably also Spanish and German but who knows? Let's just say I am Australian, that who I am without all that background stuff."

"Alright, so you want to name Jellybean Bacon?" Ethan says with a grin on his face.

"No, French names no food names, who names their kid Bacon?"

"It's a French name."

"No it's not, I'm checking," I say pulling my phone out, my eyes widen as I find the answer.

Ethan taps my shoulder, "I'm sorry," I say looking up at Ethan before I return to my phone, "but I am definitely not naming my son after pork."

"Ok, ok, what about," Ethan thinks for a moment, "Alexander, Edmund, Charlie, Luke or Thomas for boys."

"You really like Charlie don't you?" I say shaking my head.

"I do."

"Ok, what about girls?"

"There's Violette, Lili, Sophia, Aimee or Arielle,"

"Pretty names."

"Yeah and if you want to have them as French names, you spell them differently, which make them even more pretty," Ethan says playing with my hair.

"That would be nice," I say at the thought, "You know what Bella and Luke came up with?"

"What?"

"Melody Ella and Charlie Daniel."

"Not too bad, I think they might have chosen for us, maybe."

I nod too, "Maybe."
