"Such a lovely and uncommon name," "It's Swahili. It means beautiful or graceful," I tell him with a smile, and he repeats it silently. We continue talking as we walk through the garden. "Are you close to the royal family?" I ask. Nicholas doesn't seem to like him.

"You should smile more often; you look more handsome smiling than keeping a strict face." Liam says, "Hmph," and nods. "Thank you," he says briefly again. "So, what is your native name?" Temisa asks him again. "You can call me Tobi," he replied. "Wow, Oluwatobi, I suppose? This means that our God is bigger." Temisa giggles.

I looked at Sayidati and turned toward her to explain. “Young Laís...” I placed my hand on my chest and smiled at her. “My name is Hassan, and I’m not from here. I’m from Sudan, an Arab country.” She stared at me expectantly, still waiting for an explanation of why I called her mother that. “Sayidati means Madame in my language,” I said, noticing a smile spreading across her face. I could see how much she lit up at my clarification. It was clear how protective they were of my Sayidati, and I knew that if, at some point, we became official, I’d have my hands full with these children.

Syria suggested, "How about traditional names like Emily or Daniel? They never go out of style." Elena nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, classic names are always beautiful but let's also explore some unique and meaningful ones. How about Luna, which means moon? Or Asher, meaning happy and blessed?" Syria loved the idea of meaningful names and added, "What about Kai? It means 'sea' in Hawaiian, and it sounds so serene and strong."

Maybe her date. "Hey," Shola replied with a shy smile, "Hi!" The girl said cheerfully. Her smile was so charming, her teeth perfectly straight and aligned. "I'm Rittley." "My name is Sho..."
