Madeline and Molly were the two girls Mom wanted, and she picked their names. Mark was either an oops or a trying for a boy because Dad nagged while secretly hoping for a third girl. Dad named Mark. |

Wrong except for Caroline. She is a big fan of princesses, although mom is not!

You can tell I was an alcoholic because all I could think about these names was, "Mom really fucking loves her gin." I like your theory better. |

You obviously did not realize that Mollly is a nickname for Mary...so you essentially gave your first two children the same name. You are a youngish Irish Catholic SAHM. You plan to have more children. |

These are your dogs. You are a single professional woman who has lived in DC since grad. school 25 years ago. You are now in your late 40s and never expected to still be single. However, you love your life and have lots of friends and can afford to travel. You have been dating less and less as the years go by...but your dogs keep you company. You are devoted to them and take walks with them every morning and every evening with your best friend - the gay neighbor. |

I am guessing one of the girls posted this...It is her family of orgin...Siblings all born in the 1960s and 1970's. The family is from New England. Mother was a WASP and from money. She went to a girls' college. Father was less WASPY. Very preppy family. Vacationed at longtime family cabin on Lake Winnepasaukee. Most of these siblings went to good colleges like Williams and Middlebury and Swarthmore. All are married now with kids and some are in the DC area. Nice family. Very athletic. Mom liked to play tennis. Father was an engineer or teacher. Mom was a SAHM but took up painting after the kids were grown. Parents are still together and still live in the same house. |

Malcolm and Zola You're white and DH is black. Your kids are beautiful, and Zola loves her daddy something fierce. Malcolm is super sporty and a great big brother. He has a weird birthmark on his foot and Zola is sad she doesn't have a matching one. DH is the first black guy you ever dated, and you were so nervous before meeting his family that you made him sit in the car with you while you cried, then fixed your makeup. But his mom gave you a huge smile and equally huge hug and the two of you have gotten along famously since Day 1. His sisters were harder to win over and you've always felt they're a bit cool to you, though polite. Those stories in the news about that white guy who went to WalMart with his black kids always make your DH very uncomfortable. You work in the front office of the local elementary school which you can walk to, and like being home when the kids get home from school. Your most embarrassing moment involving your kids was when you were giving birth to Malcolm and pooped on the bed in front of DH. You'd been told the nurses would immediately get rid of it and you were livid they didn't and your DH noticed. Your most embarrassing moment not involving your kids was when you were texting while crossing the street, didn't lift your foot high enough to clear the curb and tripped and fell. You broke your iPhone, and that night when DH asked how you just told him you dropped it, but then in bed that night when he saw your knee and asked about it, you cried confessing the truth. The next day he came home from work with a new iPhone and knee pads for you. The two of you are very in love. Wow!!! You were really close! We are a very loving multicultural family and the kids are beautiful. Those difference were harder for his family to accept. And though I work in a different profession than the one listed, I did take my current job so that I can be home when the kids get home from school.

You are an academic couple. One of you, probably mom, spent almost 10 years as a child somewhere in Africa where your father, also an academic, studied anthropology and made quite a name for himself. As a consequence, you have a very slight accent when pronouncing some words, an accent that people can't quite place. In your work and personal lives, you strongly advocate for social justice causes. You toy with the idea of having another child, but your lives are so busy, and, besides, you believe in ZPG. Even pursuing this one pregnancy required quite a bit of intellectualizing its rationale, but since mom's 40th birthday was around the corner, it came down to "now or never." You adore your child, but sometimes can't wait for her to grow up so you can talk about Big Ideas. |

You are a dreamer and came up with these names when you were in middle school, long before you met husband, Greg. You have always wishes Greg's name was really Mark. Tristan and Peter attend private school and you live in McLean in a Mcmansion. You throw 2 lovely, if bland, barbeque parties every summer and spend 2 weeks at Bethany at your family's beach house. You don't work, but volunteer so mcuh at the school that if feels liek a job. |
