Chapter 2043 Name That evening, the Farwell residence was filled with joy and laughter.
Upon hearing that Lucian and Roxanne were having twins, Elias and Sonya were so thrilled that they were almost moved to tears.
Back when they took care of Estella, they were always anxious and didn't get to experience much of the joy of family life.
Now, with the arrival of these two new babies, they could finally fulfill their role as competent grandparents.
Attending to Estella was the hard mode of childcaring, so they hoped things would be easier this time around.
The three kids were overjoyed to have a younger brother and sister at the same time, clapping and cheering enthusiastically.

They showered their parents with compliments and encouragement for their copulative ability, repeatedly praising them for being so capable, rendering Lucian and Roxanne slightly embarrassed. This “ability” doesn't seem to need so much recognition.
Next came the most nerve-wracking and suspenseful part for the family—naming the future twins.
Coincidentally, Lucian had previously asked the three children to prepare two names each, one for a boy and one for a girl.
Now they could choose two names, increasing the probability of the suggestions being selected.
“All right. The Farwell family's naming competition officially begins. First, let's welcome our first contestant, Archie Farwell! We're looking forward to seeing what beautiful names our logical-minded Archie will come up with. Let's encourage him with a round of applause!” Clap! Clap! Clap! Amidst the applause, Archie stood in the center of the crowd, holding a drawing board and quickly writing down two names: Seward Farwell and Dawn Farwell.
Everyone nodded, offering encouragement and praises.
“Okay. Next will be our second contestant, Benny Farwell's turn. Let's see what better names our tech-savvy boy can come up with!” Benny also wrote down the names he had spent a long time coming up with: Xacobe Farwell and Noreen Farwell.
Similarly, he received flattering remarks for the simple yet meaningful names.
At that moment, Estella, beside them, was quickly changing her answers while muttering, “What? | thought we were supposed to come up with more traditional names. | didn't expect both of my brothers to choose such expressive names.” After grumbling, Estella didn't wait for her dad to announce her turn and directly stepped forward, raising her drawing board. The two names she thought of were Seward and Noreen.
Everyone present was stumped and stunned.
“Isn't that—" Before Benny could make out the word “plagiarism,” Archie swiftly covered his brother's mouth and dragged him aside.
Elias and Sonya exchanged glances.

Immediately afterward, Roxanne got to her feet and supported Estella. “There's no rule in our contest stating the participants can't have similar names, so there's nothing wrong with Essie and her brothers sharing similar opinions.” Estella accepted her shortcomings gracefully. “Fine, Mommy, | think the names | came up with are a bit too hard to pronounce, so I guess I'm out of the running. Nevertheless, | think the names Archie and Benny chose are great. It's all right. I'll try harder next time.” Roxanne almost broke into a cold sweat. There can't be a next time! Finally, the voting began.
The names “Seward Farwell” and “Noreen Farwell” received unanimous votes.
Hence, the ultimate decision was for the boy to be named Seward and the girl to be named Noreen.
“Seward and Noreen. Their names are so pretty.” Although Estella didn't come up with the names, she was still fond of them, so she immediately cheered.
Archie and Benny were also happy, having completed the naming of their younger brother and sister in a ceremonious manner.
“Archie, Benny, Estella, Seward, and Noreen. It's quite catchy,” Roxanne recited the names, finding them easy to remember and convenient for introducing to others.
