Congratulations!  I'm a brother thrice over, but I can only remember the
birth of the youngest :-).

You wrote that they decided on Natalie, which is a nice name.

But if you were calling her "Happiness" in Yivríndil she'd be "Daro", and
in the related lang Tzingrizhil she'd be "Dru" which is almost
homophonous with the English name "Drew"!
