Andrea was born in the 70s. Erin was either born later in the 70s or in the 80s. Andrea was named after your first husband, Andrew, who was kind of a jerk about the fact that she wasn't a boy -- no wonder you divorced him not long after Erin -- so named to honor your Irish heritage &, alas, also not a boy -- started elementary school!

You were a single mom for several years before getting remarried to a man who is much wealthier than your first husband (not hat you married him for his money)! You & your new DH desperately wanted to have just one child together. With Andrea & Erin, you'd gotten pregnant almost immediately after stopping birth control but, alas, you weren't in your 20s this time. After a few difficult years, you finally welcomed little Claire into the world thanks to IVF.

You've always wanted to be a Kennedy, but never quite made it. You werealwaysthisclose, but no cigar. Instead of Exeter, your kids went to Bullis. They still made it to Harvard on sports scholarships, though. You're too nice to be Bullis Mom.

You used to be quite religious, hence Noah and Leah, but then joined a playgroup and became friends with this mom who has tattoos and is an atheist and a lot of what she said really spoke to you. Plus you were SO OVER everyone always giving Noah two of every stuffed animal. So by the time Gabriella came around you refused the pressure to name her Sarah or Rachel or another biblical name. Gabriella is such a prissy name, but she's your sporty girl - sometimes she even beats Noah when they're racing. Leah just wants to play dolls and color. All day, every day.

You're not friends with that atheist mom any more - she only has one kid and was always trying to pawn hers off on you by saying "Hey, what's one more when you already have three, right?" But you're glad she made you more open-minded. You didn't start worrying Noah was gay when he happily played dolls with Leah all afternoon.

Somehow all this open-mindedness has made you more adventurous sexually and you initiate now, when you never did before. Your husband loves it, though he wonders what kinds of friends you're keeping these days. But he's too busy with that prick Jerry at work who is always trying to claim credit for his reports to worry too much.

Wow I got quite the elaborate story! We are Jewish and not very religious, Noah and Leah are both named after relatives who have passed away (Leah is named after a Leo). We had not planned on them having such "matchy" names and considered going for a similar name our our third (Jonah or Hannah or Norah), but instead gave her a name we both just liked. Gabriella is almost two but I would not be surprised if she is the most sporty one! I've always been pretty open minded and adventurous

You have great taste. I am pregnant and these are currently my favorite boy and girl names for the baby.

Beyond having great taste, you are a second generation Iranian married to a old money new englander. You met your husband in graduate school (you were in medical school and he was in a history PhD program) at a bar in New Haven. You were never religous but were raised to be proud of your culture. You are the oldest of four daughters and the first to have children in your family. You were always responsible and knew since you were fairly young you would be a doctor. Your family is very secular, but still were surprised when you announced your engagement to your husband. They were worried about whether you would pursue that residency in neurosurgery and whether this guy would derail your plans. Your father was worried about your husband's work ethic. Your in laws had seen "Not Without My Daughter" and were worried about the inter-cultural marriage. While they didn't think you were a gold digger, they didn't know whether you would fit in with their fancy cape cod crowd.

Neither of you cared and your marriage is lovely. You had Zara and Ilyas two years apart in the middle of the neurosurgery residency on the west coast. It was hard, especially spending hours on your feet in surgery while very pregnant, but you mustered through and now work at a teaching hospital. Your DH was a SAHD while you were in residency (although he adjuncted a bit for fun). He's working now at a community college and you live in a funky craftsman home. Your kids are in middle school now and you worry about Zara falling into the wrong crowd. She's a gorgeous kid, but you repeatedly tell her looks are not everything. You wish Ilyas took his studies more seriously.

Your in-laws love the effect you've had on their son. He went from a stony, lazy "academic" to a hard working husband and father. You absolutely refuse money from your in laws and they respect that choice (since their other children all live on the dole). You support your parents during retirement with each of your sisters contributing a share to allow them to stay home and not work anymore. Your husband doesn't understand this, but respects your decision.

The girls have canopy beds and the boys live in a rustic custom-build cabin behind the main house.
