Summer and Brooke

You are an artist and gentle soul from New Hampshire who only reluctantly moved to DMV to support your husband’s life dream of rising through the ranks of the Justice Department as a criminal prosecutor.

Your daughters are named to remind you of the beauty of New England waterways in warm times of the year. Summer used to be your favorite season growing up in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, it has become your least favorite season in the DC area due to the unbearable humidity and boredom since Pandemic has shut down so many fun activities.

Summer and Brooke share similar interests and are close but fight quite a lot. They spent way too much time on their phones since the pandemic and are competing for who will gain 100, 000 followers on Tik Tok first.

Your family serves the military. Your husband is a Jewish chaplain who works at the Military Chaplain Association in Arlington. You are of American Irish descent and work as a mental health counselor at Military Counseling Services.

Ironically, although Flynn is a classic Irish name (Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Floinn ‘descendant of Flann’, a byname meaning ‘red(dish)’, ‘ruddy’), he takes more after your husband. Flynn is of a short stature with dark olive complexion and a cautious disposition. Few would guess his grandfather was a rowdy towering Irish mayor of a midlands town along the historic royal canal

On the other hand, Eli looks like an Irish River dancer, tall, slim, with a spiritely gait, ruffled red hair and freckles. Eli is a classic Jewish name given to a high priest in the Old Testament who served as a spiritual guide and trainer to a young prophet Samuel. Your Eli has the confidence of someone who knows that he is easily liked and admired with little effort on his part. Flynn works much harder to gain your approval.

Eli and Flynn have been raised to serve others and are not terribly bratty for teens. As you refused to convert to Judaism, they are being raised in both Jewish and Christian traditions. They like getting presents for both Hanukkah and Christmas. They attend public school in Arlington where they are adjusting well to being back in school in person after virtual school for 18 months.

Mom thinks she's more interesting than the white luxury SUV/Tory Burch crowd, but she's not.

Oh but she iis interesting - as we all are when we get a chance to tell our unlikely stories …. We are all so much more than labels and stereotypes. None of us can be reduced to the cars we drive, zip codes, or stuff we own ….beneath the surface is where all the interesting stuff goes on …

You are a Guatemalan Egyptian family and English is your third language. You are proud of your indigenous heritage in Guatemala and named your older daughter Maya. Your younger daughter is named for her Egyptian grandmother. Even though she chain smokes and hoards junk in her small Cairo apartment, you are rather fond of her as long as she lives out her senior years in Cairo.

Tragically, your grand parents who were lawyers and Jesuit social activists were murdered during the Silent Holocaust or Mayan genocide during the late 1970s. Thankfully, Your great aunt who had migrated to California managed to help your mother and her sister immigrate on humanitarian grounds to the USA.

The US backed Guatemalan military viewed the Maya – traditionally seen as subhumans – as siding with the insurgency and began a campaign of mass killings and disappearances of Mayan peasants. The systematic use of terror against them began around 1975 and peaked during the first half of the 1980s. The Maya Massacre was devastating for your family and you remember your parents especially, and all the victims, every November on the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos).

You were raised as devout Catholics and to take pride in the many cultural achievements of the Maya. The Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left behind an astonishing amount of impressive architecture and symbolic artwork.

Your daughters make fun of you giving them rhyming names but secretly they quite like it. They are both gorgeous with a combination of Latina and Middle Eastern good looks. They attend a rigorous Catholic Girls School in Bethesda.

You hope that Maya and Layla will use their education to do good in the world as their Jesuit grandparents did. However, you mainly just want them to be happy and enjoy their fleeting youth.

You are a minimalist Swedish British couple based in Stockholm and London. IKEA brought you out to DMV for a few years to manage their plant in College Park, MD. You take pride in finding efficient ways of getting goods from suppliers to customers in the most direct and cost-effective way, and with the least harm to the environment.

You both enjoy Marvel movies and urban pop aesthetic vibe. Your children are named for the unassuming alter ego of Superman (Clark Kent) and the Swedish God of Thunder Thora.

You hope for them to dream big but in uncomplicated ways that can easily transverse the absurdities of life. As you correctly surmised, this requires super hero personalities these days.

You are Greek Americans who are homebodies and love good food.

You named you child Veronica because you hoped others would perceive her as someone who is full of life, uplifting, inspiring, and charming. You are on the shy side yourself but dreamed of living vicariously through a daughter who is the life of the party with a lively, intelligent, and witty personality. You hoped that by association, others would find you quietly attractive.

The hand of fate being resistant to wishful thinking, your Veronica is also introverted. However she has found a way to navigate her painful shyness by bringing characters to life in community theater.

You look down on simple minds that associate Veronica with the character from the Young and the Restless.

Veronica PP here
Thank you for taking the time to answr. It was fun to read (and you got part of it right )

Miracles do happen, Mother of Veronica. This truly is a little DCUM miracle since it feels like I am playing with blindfolds on while listening to chill instrumental world music while swinging at a piñata in another person’s yard!

You are professional Indian Americans from Bangalore, Karnataka. Your DC’s Indian name is Raj. You wanted him to have a similar name in NOVA so as to not face the same subtle discrimination that you and your husband faced when attending George Mason University law school. You were radicalized by a libertarian faction of the Republican Party when working on the student newspaper at GM. You desired to simulate Scottish roots of so many libertarians and enlightenment free thinkers and chose to change your DS’ name to Ian. You serve him black pudding for breakfast but he begs for the Dahl, samosas and roti chicken of his younger days.

Idk if this is the same author for these posts..but you are darn clever! I am truly enjoying your interpretation of these name choices

Nope I said a few pages ago, I started updating posts since Ingrid and Eamon as so many names were going unanswered. My posts are way more hyperbolic and outlandish than OP … just a bored SAHM in the DMV having a little fun ….
