[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sebastian 
Eliza[/quote]

Sebastian: Latin for "venerable" or "revered." St. Sebastian was a martyr, and his name gained popularity during the middle ages and crusades. Well-known Sebastians: Johann Sebastian Bach; the crab character in Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Eliza: feminine Hebrew name meaning "My God is an oath" or "joyful." First developed as a diminutive of Elizabeth in the 16th century and its use as an independent name started in the 18th century

You are a coin dealer in Washington DC who trades rare coins and medals to top dealers such as Capitol Coins, Coins International,  Maryland Coin Exchange, Bonanza Coins, Leidman Julian, and Alexandria Gold and Silver.

Your children Sebastian and Eliza are named for your favorite coin/ medal of all time: a rare 1951 mint of the Medal of the Royal Society of St. Sebastian, Bruges. The medal honors The (then) Princess Elizabeth and H.R.H. Prince Philip being created as Honorary Members of the Royal Society.

The Guild of Saint Sebastian is an archers' guild that has already been in existence for more than 600 years, which is unprecedented anywhere in the world. The members of this longbow guild are exclusively male, with two notable exceptions: Queen Mathilde of Belgium and the Queen of England.

Ever since the exiled English King Charles II took up residence in Bruges in the 17th century, the city and the British Royal Family have always been closely associated with the St. Sebastian Archery Guild. Charles II founded both the British Grenadier Guards and the Life Guards Regiment. The archery range is housed in a building complex dating from the 16th to the early 19th century.

You are not British but a committed Anglophile who hopes to relocate eventually to the poshest part of England, Surrey. You are preparing by:
- hiring British elocution experts to teach the correct pronunciation of every single word in the English language;
- having a large supply of red trousers, old jumpers (sweaters) and Wellingtons (rain boots);
- securing an embellished deed of ancestral nobility so that you can own a second house in the country that was built by an ancestor;
-  Listening to the British Shipping Forecast so you will be able to chat at the Golf Club (Brit version of country club);
- Advertising that you like rubgy and cricket, but know nothing about football (soccer); and
- opening a bank account with Handelsbanken (used to be Coutts but that’s for footballers now).

Your Sebastian and Eliza attend the lower school of the for-profit British International School of Washington. BIS is not as elite as you would prefer, but Sebastian’s and Eliza’s British accents are coming along nicely. You attend an Episcopalian church in Georgetown in expectation of transferring to a Church of England in Surrey. The Episcopalian branch of the Anglican World Wide Communion is a little too earnest, liberal and do gooder for your tastes. However, Saint Sebastian and Saint Elizabeth are venerated in both Anglican and Catholic traditions, which pleases you.
