You don't live in the DC area. You are a single mom, and have been for most of the kids' lives. Your house is small but immaculate, and people are constantly commenting on how well-behaved your kids are. You drink rose, because it reminds you of your year abroad in France. You manage the finances for a large nonprofit and spend your free time reading chick lit and Grisham paperbacks.

Totally wrong, but I love it! Thanks!

You live in Bethesda or Kensington in a four bedroom house, kids all play sports, you drive a minivan and have a lab or golden retriever.

We do love sports and labs!

I was thinking these names had swim team written all over them!

Tilden Woods perhaps?

Shelby

I pray you have a boy. Although, Whit is not much better than Shelby.

Shelby. Steel Magnolias your favorite movie? Mustang your favorite car? Whit...less? OMG, the poor kids.

None! Shelby is just one of the few names DH and I can agree on and Whit is short for Whitfield which is the name of the chapel we were married in.

Whitfield is the name of Michael J. Fox's character (or at least one of his names) in Secret of My Success.

You're African-American. Melanie is a Daddy's little girl and Terence gets jealous that his sister gets attention for just being cute while he can only get attention for being good at sports, so he acts out and gets in trouble for hurting Melanie. Dad doesn't know how to interact with Melanie except for commenting on her looks. Both parents thought about how the names would be perceived on resumes, but REALLY loved the name Terence and thought the name Melanie was so, SO pretty. The family attends family reunions every summer where everybody wears the same t-shirt, and meets up at a public park.

Haha. Nice try and good stereo typing effort

I am white, spouse is from Burma ( what? Never heard of it? Not surprised - look it up, yes google earth is your friend)

I am happy when I meet a Gus because I was not so sure about it and it validates my decision - which I think is pathetic.

I have a nephew Gus, which is short for August, which was my grandfather's name and the only family name that hadn't been used in every generation. (We're all very big on family names, always have been.) Gus fits him to an absolute T.

I went back and forth on August and Augustus sounded like too much. We settled on just Gus.

"Gus" sounds like someone's old alcoholic uncle.

Better than sounding like a 'pussy'.

As George Carlin said give your son a good beer-drinking. Nick and Tony will beat the crap out of Jeremy and Julian (insert names) anyway.

I went with strong, traditional names for the boys. Btw, august(Gus) was a top contender, but last name start with 'G'.

You are an avid reader of baby name blogs and chose Josephine over Piper and Marlowe. You're 32 and addicted to True Blood and Vampire Diaries, though you don't admit it. You're reasonably sporty, like doing crafts with your kid, and secretly think you're better than your coworkers in most regards.

Hmmm.

I'm closer to 42, I've never read a baby name blog (Josephine is a family name). I AM addicted to True Blood (and I proudly admit it!), but I don't know what the Vampire Diaries are. Not sporty, hate crafts, and I'm totally better than most of my coworkers and I don't keep that a secret

PP poster here, but NOT that one!

Arlington, VA family. All three boys in private religious-based schools. Sons are just about 18 months apart, each. DH and DW met as undergraduates at UVA and got married right after college graduation. Many thought you were crazy to marry so young and there were whispers that you might be pregnant. Still, you had a rollicking wedding reception (cigars, gin and tonics and way, way too much champagne) and after a fabulous honeymoon trip to Europe, moved on to Boston for graduate/law school. You ended up having your first just as many of your friends were getting married and so you still are kind of a "young mom."

Mom, you left the fast track behind, career- wise and now run the auction at the boys' school, take tennis lessons every Thursday and look forward to your monthly book club/wine drinking club. You've done an amazing job redecorate your house (it's gorgeous in a very family
friendly and relaxed way) and really welcoming. DH still wears rep ties and goes to as many alumni functions as he can fit in between golf and well, work. He commutes to DC in an older Volvo that you wish he'd replace or at very least give to Will!

You decorate for every holiday and change your double door wreaths with the season.

one of my favorite 80's movies, even though Helen Slater had zero sex appeal. I just thought MJF was adorable.
