~ Little Feathers ~

The naming of their second child had gone much the same way as the first, with the final name chosen being one that had been initially suggested to them by Moblit and which neither Levi nor Hanji had particularly cared for.

During Hanji's third pregnancy, since their two existing children were old enough to talk, the parents decided to consult the little ones on the matter of naming the impending younger sibling.

"Do you kids have any ideas for what we should name your little brother or sister when they're born?"

Cecelia replied succinctly and decisively with her favorite word: "No."

Oscar seemed more up to the challenge.

"Titans!" the little boy suggested excitedly.

Levi scowled. "We are not naming them Titans."

He was starting to think that Hanji Junior might have been a better name for Oscar, since the child seemed to share a great many of his mother's personality traits... including her obsession with Titans.

"Hmm. Bird?" Oscar put forth somewhat questioningly, and with much less enthusiasm than his first suggestion.

Levi sighed and added it to the list. It didn't stand much of a chance of actually being used, but at least thinking of potential baby names was keeping Oscar occupied for the moment.

'Potato' and 'Shoelace' were also added to the list before the toddler got bored and wandered off to play with his ragdoll Titans.

When the twins were born, however, Hanji's solution to the Great Naming Debacle was: "You name one and I'll name the other, and whatever we pick are the names - no arguing with each other about them allowed."

Which was how the twins came to be called Katja and Alexandra.

Since some of my dear readers might be confused...

Approximate birth dates for the kids:

Oscar - late 845

Cecelia - late 846 (born 11 months after Oscar)

Katja & Alexandra - mid 848 (1 & 1/2 years after Cecelia)
