Post your DCs names and we'll tell you what we assume about you. Snark is obviously expected!

Close but no cigar. We chose Noah long before Noah was a popular name (18 years ago so not trendy or popular at all) but we do hate and are more than a little surprised that it has risen to the top of the charts. Hannah was a family name. I suppose we could have dropped the unnecessary H, but that would look too affected and then it wouldn't be the family name. Caleb, well he came to us under very sad circumstances and we had no input on name or gender but I do think his birthparents chose well and Caleb was actually our number 2 choice for Noah. Can't stand minivans but yes to SUV. Traveling sports for one but music and academic competition for the others--so partially right. I do go on girls weekends to places like NY and go to bed by by 12 not 11 without every having the intention to get crazy--that was left in my misspent youth. All in all, not a bad assessment. Thanks for playing! |

I hope you're leaving out a few kids in order to appear to have an "acceptable" amount of kids or not give yourself away. Otherwise, I know a family with seven kids and four of them have those exact names.

NP. Regardless, I read these names and I think, "Bitch be crazy." Satchel is where you lost me. There's just no recovering from that. I read these names and I think, "I never want that crazy lady to be my neighbor or a parent in one of my kid's classes." |

You had dreams of one day being a children's book author, but find yourself a SAHM releasing those creative impulses by spending inordinate amounts of time posting witty comments on your "I can't believe you took that with an iPhone camera" Facebook page. You enjoy getting your Christmas cards "just right" and because your big law DH makes enough money (and works long hours), you are able to spend many an hour between your Barre classes and the private school carpool line shopping the sales for Tea and Boden (adorable dresses, where did you find those!!!) for pretty but not mundane outfits for your girls. It seems that every year, your center hall colonial, which has all the charm of a 1920s DC home, requires some ridiculous repair or renovation. |

You relocated here from Northern California and are trying very hard to find like-minded souls. Even though you were able to sell your tiny 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath bungalow in SF for a cool 1.8 mil, you still consider yourself to be middle class in DC. You moved to a red line neighborhood in the city because you thought that it would be the easiest way to transition when DH got a job with the Obama administration, but find that your neighbors are all wonks who only shop at the Whole Foods because it is convenient and not because it is your neighborhood purveyor of locally-sourced produce. Kate and Neal love to read, play soccer (Kate is on the travel team), and seem to be adjusting to DC far better than you. Fortunately, the women in DC dress a lot like women in San Francisco, you at least you look like you fit in. |

You are part of a young, hip couple and dress little Josie in black. Unfortunately, you did not realize that you should have checked the SSA trends for names and now find that when you call for Josie in your Bethesda playground (yes, we know you *had* to move to be burbs from Logal Circle for the schools) that three other little Josies turn their heads. You still buy her stuffed kitty cats and hope to intoduce her to her name-sake band when she is a little older. |

Your kids are very young and you can hardly think straight. Willa starts preschool in next fall and you'll finally have some breathing room focusing only on the twins. You never wanted to be a stay at home mom but with 3 under 3 it was the only reasonable choice. |

HA! Not young or hip. Josie is 10 (and she DOES know who her name-sake band is). I do dress Josie in black though and we DO live in Logan Circle. |
