What would Prim think of Niamh’s three children? (She has Róisín and the twins, Saoirse & Oscar.)
What is Divya’s middle name and her birthday?
Prim, Róisín, Saoirse and Oscar
Prim loves Niamh's kids very much, and ofc she adores her godson Oscar, but she's very fond of Roísín.
Of Roísín, she thinks her the prettiest girl she's ever seen and resembles her mother very much.
Of Saoirse, she also loves her, thinks her very much her father's daughter and that she favours her father very much
And ofc, Oscar, who is her godson, she adores him and sees him like a second son. She thinks him a perfect mix of his parents and the most wonderful boy, tho she knows her opinion is biased
Divya's middle name & birthday
I was thinking that Divya's middle name could be either English or still Indian.

“SHE” (FREEFALL), MARTA (FREEFALL)
PART TWO of the OC names tag game. All FC5-related children can be found HERE.
UNCHARTED
NIKOLAOS DIAMANTIS ROSSI
Nikolaos: Greek origin, meaning “victor of the people.” The name is apt in the context of a pyrrhic victory if you consider the way the Uncharted 4 timeline ends for him, but it was initially chosen because I wanted to steal the name “Niko” from a defunct Star Wars OC of mine that will never again see the light of day. (And because I wanted him to be Greek on his father’s side. In-universe, he is named for his father’s father.)
Diamantis: Greek origin, meaning “diamond.” Chosen sonically, but the meaning is apt enough owing to his wealth and the treasure vibes of the Uncharted franchise in general.
Rossi: Italian origin, meaning “red-haired.” Only my choice in the sense that I decided to make him a part of the canonical Rossi family (the “Mrs. Rossi” mentioned in passing by the floor manager in the Rossi Estate is his mother).
GIOVANNA DIAMANTIS ROSSI
Giovanna: Italian origin, meaning “God is gracious.” She was originally a Gianna, but this presented an unfortunate conflict with her younger sister’s name, so I changed it. In-universe, she is named for her mother’s father (Giovanni).
TALIA DIAMANTIS ROSSI
Talia: Hebrew origin, meaning “dew of God.” I was considering the Greek name Thalia, but realized there was an Italian-friendly alternative, as Talia is the name of a character in an Italian fairy tale. Since the sisters are more immediately associated with their mother’s side of the whole Diamantis/Rossi business model, that’s the one that stuck.
CYBERPUNK 2077
LEON VALERO
Leon: Greek origin, meaning “lion.” Flop reasoning on my part. He’s a Leo and it suits him. That’s literally it. However, there’s a quest in-game where V is dubbed “the furious lion” by an NPC, which was a funny but unexpected nod.
Valero: Spanish origin, a place name derived from Valero, in Salamanca province, Spain. No reason for this choice other than I needed a “V” name of Spanish origin. (He is mixed—primarily Mexican and Japanese, some Russian—but his mother specifically was a Valero, before he was raised as one of Padre’s boys.)
TOBIAS LYNCH
Tobias: Hebrew origin, meaning “God is good.” I like how it sounds. End reasoning.
Lynch: Irish origin, meaning “hill.” No specific purpose. I knew I wanted a name of Irish origin and it flowed well with the siblings’ first names.
SAOIRSE LYNCH
Saoirse: Irish origin, meaning “liberty.” Again, no purpose, only sound.
DRAGON AGE
GAVIN COUSLAND
Gavin: Scottish origin, derived from Gawain, meaning “white hawk.” I just liked the sound and the Arthurian vibes.
Cousland: Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic form of Absolom, meaning “father of peace.” Not my choice, canon default for a human noble.
CAIUS TREVELYAN
Caius: Latin origin, meaning “rejoice.” In-universe, his name was plucked straight from the family tree (the Tevinter relative from way, way back—hilarious).
Trevelyan: Welsh and Cornish origin, meaning “homestead on the hill.” Not my choice, canon default for a human noble (again).
MASS EFFECT
GABRIEL SHEPARD
Gabriel: Hebrew origin, meaning “God is my strength.” Chosen because I love that biblical shit; you already know. Specifically, I thought it would be funny if he was named after the messenger, because no one listens to him when he says the Reapers are coming. It’s funny. Hush. Unintentional, but it also allowed for an in-universe reference to Garrus’s vigilante moniker (Archangel), one he chose—in my personal canon anyway—as a way to honor his human friend (and known proponent of vigilante justice!) whom he thought to be dead.
Shepard: English origin, meaning “sheep herder.” Not my choice, canon default. (He sure does herd sheep though, boy howdy.)
THE WAYHAVEN CHRONICLES
LEVI XIAO
Levi: Hebrew origin, meaning “joined together” or “joined in harmony.” It’s also meant to be evocative of “Leviathan,” because his father is NOT dead, actually; he’s a god-creature from the Echo World, currently in horror-stasis at the Agency headquarters for his Crimes™, which is much better than being dead. Surely. Absolutely. The Hebrew origin is relevant because his mother’s side of the family is Jewish.
Xiao: Chinese origin, written as 蕭, meaning “mournful” or “desolate.” His father’s chosen surname for passing in the human world. His father is not actually Chinese (obviously), but China was his place of origin in terms of his initial entry into the Right-Side-Up and the physical features of his human form are all reflective of this.
I couldn’t resist doing this for the Cyberpunk kids as well; RIP. 🤍

Note: Day 3 (Red) of @lifeofkaze’s Valentine’s Day Challenge
Summary: “These should include which houses Saoirse and Oisín were sorted into.” Or, Tadhg and Niamh are proud parents.
Setting: Dublin, September 1924
OCs Mentioned: Teddy Ellison [@cursebreakerfarrier], Gabriel Sapieha [@slytherindisaster]
The owl swooped down into the kitchen, clattering onto the thankfully empty table. She sighed, but moved to right the owl. The bird held out its leg, hooting mournfully as its big eyes blinked.
“Okay, okay,” Niamh Lynch muttered, reaching out to untie the letters attached to the owl’s legs.
The moment the parchment was freed from its legs, the owl took off again, narrowly avoiding a collision with the unopened window. Niamh shook her head, but smiled at the three letters. Aisling’s curly letters looped across the parchment in bright violet ink, while Saoirse’s messy letters, in black ink, took up as little space as possible and Oisín’s neat, blocky letters, in blue ink, took up a reasonable amount of space.
“Good morning, mo stór,” her husband called, as he walked into the kitchen.
Niamh looked over her shoulder and smiled. His hair had started to pepper, and even at fifty, his hair was still full. He wore a red buffalo check shirt and denim trousers that cut his form beautifully.
“Good morning,” she said, as he crossed the room to meet her.
“Are those from the children?” Tadhg asked, leaning over her shoulder.
“Yes. These should include which houses Saoirse and Oisín were sorted into.”
“Whose do we open first?”
“What if we each take one?”
“That seems like a good plan. Do you want Oisín’s letter or Saoirse’s?”
Tadhg paused, and then moved to sit in one of the chairs, while she took the chair opposite him, making sure to face his good ear. She shuffled the letters in her hand, moving them back and forth in an anxious way.
“Why don’t we just choose at random? Turn them over and fan them out like cards,” Tadhg said, after their long pause.
“That sounds fair,” she replied, flipping the two letters over and shuffling them.
She held them out to Tadhg, who pursued both letters for a few moments before selecting one. Niamh turned the letter she held over. Saoirse, her darling spitfire.
“I’ll be shocked if Saoirse isn’t a Gryffindor. She reminds me so much of you with Teddy and Gabriel,” she remarked.
“Please, Saoirse’s all you. Now, which house do you think Oisín will be in? I could see him going anywhere but Slytherin,” Tadhg replied.
“I think he’ll be a Ravenclaw, like I was.”
“Yeah. Ready?”
“On the count of three.”
“One.” They looked at each other and grinned before continuing their countdown.
Swallowing, Niamh gently unscrolled the letter. It took a few minutes to decipher her daughter’s handwriting. Saoirse had never had the best penmanship, although it was never as bad as her husband’s handwriting.
“You were right. Oisín’s in Ravenclaw,” Tadhg remarked. Niamh smiled widely.
“And Saoirse’s a Gryffindor,” Niamh replied, her smile continuing to grow.
