You were between Kirby and Kyle for your daughter. Kirby played high school volleyball and is going off to Vanderbilt this Fall.

You spend a fortune on stinky cheese at Whole Foods and wonder why your DC turns up their nose at it. It's an acquired taste that will come with time -- and you look forward to those adult years when you can actually share time with your DC without it feeling like nails on a chalk board. In the meantime, you get tired of telling prospective nannies that your DC is a BOY not a girl, or vice versa, when they inquire about the job. Why do you have to explain to everyone that it's a FAMILY NAME? If they had any class, they would know not to ask.

You were afraid to change your kids' stripper names once the adoption was finalized because you thought that might indicate a lack of acceptance, and anything less than 100 percent in life is not okay with you. You live with the tiny cringe you have to hide whenever you say or hear their names in public. They will outgrow the stigma and blossom into successful, wealthy adults -- you're sure of it!!

You are marrying your best friend at the courthouse in a couple weeks because you are expecting again and this one is a boy! As soon as you lose the baby weight, you're going to have a "real wedding" with your daughters as flower girls and your new son will help his grandpa give you away to the best Daddy in the whole wide world. Then, a honeymoon to Disneyworld.

You didn't want to have kids. You and DH like going out to eat a lot and traveling. So you agreed to have only one and to give her a unique name to indicate the fact that you are still cool even though you're first time parents in your forties.

Named after their paternal great-grandparents, these twins are the sweetest babies ever. You could just eat them up. If you could pry them from the clutches of Bubbe and Zayde for more than 5 minutes.


Haha! Not twins, and they're 14 and 9. Good try though

They are already the Queen Bs of the preschool set. Lauren has particularly discriminating tastes and can spot which of her classmates are wearing clothes from Target. She isn't quite sure why this is objectionable but makes sure they know that it just won't do. Alexandra will become sporty as a way to distinguish herself from her older sister and develop a hidden crush on a teammate.

When you had Nicole, you were your own woman, albeit still living with your teenage fantasies of having children. Then came Mara and you moved to the suburbs, where naming children in EXACTLY the right way mattered more than being true to yourself. William, Luke and Olivia, thank God, have trendy names and fit in with the cool families of suburuba. They are embarrassed by their older siblings, and you hate to admit that you are just a touch yourself.
