You're What? {Closed Roleplay}
Rosella’s eyes traveled around the room, searching for inspiration. “Cosima?” She asked. “Or…” Her mind searched for other alternatives. “Giada?” There was a female form of her brother’s name, but as much as she loved him, that wasn’t happening.
He nodded and smiled. He was going to be about as much help with the names as he was with the crib. Thinking of names was the last thing Lochlan had ever thought of. “They sound very nice. What about for a boy?”
Shooting him a stern look, Rosella replied, “No, signore. You’re not getting out of this that easily. I want to hear your ideas too.” She simply insisted, partially because she was curious, and also because it was his child too and he was going to have some input, more than the names she came up with sounded ‘nice’.
Lochlan put his hands up in defense and smiled at her innocently. “Alright, alright.” He laughed. “Let’s see…well, in Irish tradition if it’s a girl we would name it after your mother but I’m not sure if you have mother.” The thought to give the baby a Norwegian name occurred to him but there was something inside him that wouldn’t allow it.
Rosella’s eyes traveled to the ceiling as she thought. “My mother? I don’t really have one… The closest I think would be Cassia… There are Feliciano or Romano, too… Or Giovanni. But those are for boys.” The furrow in between her eyebrows grew. This was harder than she expected it to be.
“Right, that’s where I thought we would run into a problem.” Lochlan mused, as he watched Rosella. He let out a sigh as he continued to think of the naming traditions “And, if it’s a boy we would name it after my father but…which father do we name it after?” He let out a quick chuckle. Lochlan was beginning to wonder if the getting ready for the baby was going to be harder than actually having the kid.
She leaned back in a bit of exasperation. "Dio mio. This is hard." She looked to him and quirked a bit of a smile, "You know, don't people usually have these conversations before? I think we dropped the ball on this." Her mind was cycling through all of the stupid soap opera type shows she'd seen before when there was nothing else to watch.
