What's this? Three bottles? What's going on here?
They're ours, dork. You're a daddy now!

So, with the recent breedings, my special babies Kekri and Taika happened to end up with three little bottles.
Now, I'm trying to find good homes for two of them. This is where you guys come in!

User Image
Female
Female User ImageUser Image Male

You'll be trying for the two bottom bottles, the darker female and the only male.

The catch is this:
The babies' names should match in theme with the parents.
"Kekri" is an old Finnish pagan harvest festival, basically the equivalent of Halloween.
"Taika" means magic in Finnish.
The baby I'm keeping will be named "Routa" - that means frost, seeing as how in Finland we get frost and first snow around the end of October.
You don't necessarily have to pick a Finnish name. Just keep our theme in mind; Halloween, magic, late fall.

I'd also prefer a little personality snippet, because I want to roleplay the family together.

Kekri, the father, is gentle and laid back, and totally the underdog in this family.
Taika, the mother, is a little bipolar - one moment she's all bouncy and bubbly, the next she's either bawling her eyes out or trying to claw out yours.
Routa, the youngest of the siblings, will be a little mischievous, and fascinated with magic.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? The girlie! :3
Name suggestion: Ilta: Finnish name meaning "night." Usually when halloween takes place, as well all know~ And it is pretty. :33
Personality: Ilta is the kind of girl that observes people at first, learning their movements, patterns, and personality before interacting. She has been known to stare at someone for hours without speaking once, and then suddenly joining into a conversation once she has them figured out. She does not take being told what to do well and will merely blink at someone and walk away if they try and control her. She's somewhat quiet, but not cold. When she doesn't know what to do she becomes rather agitated, she doesn't take being left out or confused well. Due to her ability to observe and pick up details she can manipulate easily, though she doesn't much. Though the ability is there.

Also, she is very loyal to those she loves and those that love her. She is the girl that you can go to and cry against, and the girl that would break out of her quiet shell to beat someones bum for hurting her friend. She's highly patient and is hard to annoy, but when you do.... back up.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? Male
Name suggestion: Pyry: Finnish name meaning "blizzard, snowstorm." Going along with the snow thing. His personality matches his name well.
Personality: Pyry is emotionally guarded, watching others with cold eyes and forcing them back with frosty words. He is hard to befriend, preferring his own company or those of his family over others. He is not the type to be pushed around, and if he is tested he will step up to the challenge. His mood swings are quick, one second simply cold and judging, the next angry and violent. This isn't because he's a naturally violent person, he just doesn't take stress well. He does have compassion though and will save those in need, though he will not stick around long after. He cannot just let someone wither away before his eyes, it'd haunt him for years.

Even so, once you befriend this male you will never need to worry about his mood swings. It's as if he is an entirely different person. He becomes sweet and loyal and even playful to those that have earned his trust and friendship. Touch his friend though and you have a whirlwind of pain coming to you.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? Female
Name suggestion: Noita - it means witch in Finnish. To go with the whole Halloween theme. And because I've always wanted to name a baby some form of witch.
Personality: Very much the try and try again type. She fails a lot, and doesn't really let it get her down.. but she does seem to just give up if something seems futile. And it happens a lot. As a result, she tends to pile up a lot of things that she's tried, but not really completed.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? The boy. <3
Name suggestion: Kylma (Finnish for cold. There is supposed to be those dots above the a, but I can't figure out how to make the keyboard do them.
Personality: Against all odds, this boy ended up being a vicious little s**t. Completely cold and unfeeling, he cares for no-one, would screw over anyone to get what he wants, and will injure anyone who gets in his way or just plain doesn't look right. In this regard, he's much like his mother, only without the bubbly. Mind you - he does act nice to your face, but there are hidden barbs in his meanings, and he almost always breaks his promises.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? The boy!
Name suggestion: Terho. It means acorn in Finnish, and we all know acorns are usually seen mostly in autumn time in abundance.
Personality: He is the quiet type normally. He is one of those who sits and watches or walks by and give you a look saying 'i see everything'. This comes from being the only male out of him and his siblings. He loves his family dearly, for how different they all really are. He does play with his sisters and parents, but he would always be the one that just agrees with whatever they want to do and be the one hanging back, not from feeling excluded, but from enjoying watching his family have fun.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? The female~
Name suggestion: Karkki. Means "candy" in Finnish and we all know candy and Halloween usually go hand-in-hand.
Personality: When around her parents Karkki is the perfect little angel, polite, considerate, and a bit of a suck-up. However when she is away from the watchful eyes of her parents Karkki becomes a bit of a sadist and enjoys watching others squirm.

I've got the perfect name!
Which baby are you trying for? The Boy
Name suggestion: Syksy (Autumn in Finnish) <3
Personality: Syksy is generally well behaved and calm, and he has a tendency to be rather stoic, holding emotions up on the inside be it good or bad. In reality, he strives to prove himself to everyone, especially to his mother, even though he almost always ends up disappointed in himself the majority of the time. He tends to be slightly protective of his siblings, seeing that since he is the only male from the litter, and also the oldest (?), that he should hold some sort of responsibility towards them. This also leads back to his fault of constantly trying to prove himself and not disappoint others.
