Averil and Ash‘s names start with A like their bio mother‘s, Anna. Hayden‘s starts with H like his bio father‘s, Hans. Josiah‘s name starts with J, unlike both and unlike his adoptive parent. How‘d that happen? (tbf I love the name so this is not a problem)

Josiah was named by Lydia. She had an ally named Josiah when she was younger, but he's dead, she wanted to honour him so she named Josiah Westergaard after him. Averil was also named by the people who adopted him (I think that might have been LeFou but I can't remember at the moment.) She named Ash, Hayden, and she's going to name Ember, but Lydia and LeFou got to name the kids they adopted because they'd already set up the adoptions while Anna was pregnant so she let them pick the names

During the council meeting, as arrangements were being made for the Isle kids in Auradon, someone did throw the idea that the children of the Isle children should be placed in foster care because "babies shouldn't be raising babies," expressing concern for Pasha, a six-year-old being raised by a man who couldn't speak and a bipolar woman, and Ember and Stormi, because how could two fourteen-year-olds raise two newborns, one of whom has a chromosomal disability?

You can imagine how well that went. It was decided that the children of the Isle children would be allowed to remain with their parents.
