You and your husband were college DJs. One night while doing your radio show, you listened to Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" and decided that Saffron was the perfect name for your future daughter. Fast forward 20 years and Saffron has risen above her hippie roots and is president of the College Republicans and goes by "Saffy" because she is sick and tired of being named after a spice. As for Ian, you will never tell him he was named after a hopping flutist because he was conceived backstage at a Jethro Tull concert. He is happily oblivious as an analyst at the Heritage Foundation. |
Growing up, you had Golden Retrievers named Lucy and Molly from the same litter. You never quite recovered after your father told you that they went to live on a farm. |
As an anglophile tween, you wanted to be the youngest of the Mitford sisters. You are trying for another daughter and will call her Pamela. If it is a boy, you will name him Peter but will call him "Boy". |
LOL...Jake's name actually is "Jacob" but he decided in 1st grade that he wanted to be "Jake" |
You live in Chevy Chase Village. |
OP isn't as good as the other person that did this previously. |

You do realize that more than one person is posting responses, right? |
I think the PPs who've posted the stories have been hilarious! I've laughed at every single one. Great job, ladies! |
Iman ( girl)
Basiru ( boy) |
groan... |
I hope this is a joke |
Michael and josephine |
The younger two are typical boys tearing it up (though in our backyard, no culdesac). The oldest is a girl and she's definitely sweet but lots of drama. Thought I'd leave their gender out of the initial post. ![]() |
