25.3 XBM's Task - So Many Names!

My four children and seven grandchildren each have two middle names. This task celebrates that.

Read two books, from the options below. You may do a single option twice, but you must choose different authors for each book.
Required:State the option.

Option 1: Read a book by an author that EXACTLY shares one of these names:
Adam, Andrew, Anuenue, Blair, Corwyn, Damian, Douglas, Elaric, Floyd, George, Gloria, Huakai, Kuuipo, Laura, Luna, Nicole, Patrick, Rowan, Skelly, Therese, Thomas
The names may be in any position, but must match exactly. State the name you are using.
Required: State the name

Option 2: Read a book by an author with four names. One example would be Emily St. John Mandel.

All initials count as names as in J.R.R.Tolkien.

Option 3: Since the keiki have culturally appropriate middle names, read a book with these name’s translation in the title or subtitle:
Anuenue - rainbow
Huaka’i – journey or voyage
Kuuipo – sweetheart or beloved
For this option, possessives or plurals are allowed, no other variations allowed.
Required: State the translated word

Does a name like this that isn't all capitalized names count for #2?

Yes, that is fine.
