What is your LO's middle name? James
What were your other top middle names for LO that didn't get used? None. We were pretty set on using James and it is a simple enough name that it would go with just about anything.
Do you think their middle name fits them? I really don't view middles names in a way that I'd see it as fitting or not fitting a person.
If you could pick any other middle name for LO, what would it be? None.
What kind of cellphone do you have? None 
What brand of laptop or desktop do you own? Dell for the laptop and random bits that the SO put together for my desktop.

How about manicures? Nope.
What is your favorite hairstyle for yourself? Loose curls but I rarely, rarely, rarely, bother to do it.
How about hair color? Auburn
What has been your favorite job thus far? Mommyhood 
If you could grant anyone 1 wish, whose wish would it be? I'd be likely to just go find a random child and grant them what they wanted. I think it would be more fun that way.
If you had a 1 week vacation, where would you go or what would you do? Stay home and sleep all week.
And lastly, what other name would you like for yourself? I'm not 100% fond of my name but I've never been able to come up with something I'd like more for me.

Do you think their middle name fits them? I think so.
If you could pick any other middle name for LO, what would it be? It was oretty much sure to be Elizabeth because it is a family name. The other family name I wouldn't mind using is Anne, but Sullivan Anne sounds a bit funny!

What brand of laptop or desktop do you own? Mac Book (which I LOVE )
Do you get pedicures or do them yourself? Occassionally will get them. Its a nice splurge.

How about hair color? Blondish
What has been your favorite job thus far? Being a mommy with the occassional horses on the side.

How about manicures? I dont really do those. Occasionally for a special thing

If you could grant anyone 1 wish, whose wish would it be? My brother

And lastly, what other name would you like for yourself? I really like my name. I have some friends though that call me Abie and I like that too, so I guess that.

What is your LO's middle name? Marie
What were your other top middle names for LO that didn't get used? I really hadn't thought of anything for her. We didn't really officially decide on her first name until I was on bed rest. Marie wasn't her middle name until after she was born. It is family tradition for the girl's to have the middle name of Marie, but I wasn't sure if we were going to follow tradition. I am glad we did though.
Do you think their middle name fits them? I really like it, and I think it suits her. It flows well with her first name, so I like that too.
If you could pick any other middle name for LO, what would it be? I would want something short and more traditional. Maybe Lynn like my Mom's middle name, or Anne like my Grandma's.
What kind of cellphone do you have? Droid2
What brand of laptop or desktop do you own? this is an IBM ThinkPad, I have a Dell too.
Do you get pedicures or do them yourself? Both! I love giving myself pedicures, but it's even better to go get them done. Yummy massage!
How about manicures? I will get manicures, but not as often as pedicures. I don't really like anything on my nails except a shiny top coat.
What is your favorite hairstyle for yourself? long with layers and bangs
How about hair color? My natural color
What has been your favorite job thus far? I will always love my time as an ffice manager for a printing and direct mail comopany. Completely on the opposite end of my degree, but why the heck not. I loved the people, and that it was something different every day. I hate routine.
If you could grant anyone 1 wish, whose wish would it be? Abe
If you had a 1 week vacation, where would you go or what would you do? Brazil for sure. I have always wanted to explore the ruins and then relax on the beaches.
And lastly, what other name would you like for yourself? Kaura. =)

What is your LO's middle name? Rossi
What were your other top middle names for LO that didn't get used? There weren't any we knew what it would be for a boy or girl before we were pregnant.
Do you think their middle name fits them? Absolutely. It's a family name on my side... my grandfather was a full-blooded Italian. We like to make up this terrible stereo-typical Italian-American accent for Buckets and he likes to humor us by talking with his hands all of the time. 
If you could pick any other middle name for LO, what would it be? I wouldn't.
What kind of cellphone do you have? I don't.
What brand of laptop or desktop do you own? Mac.
Do you get pedicures or do them yourself? Neither.
How about manicures? Also neither.
What is your favorite hairstyle for yourself? Eh, I'm flexible... I like it long & layered or short and a little choppy and several ways in between.
How about hair color? Natural: deep brown with loads of highlights and more & more greys every day.
What has been your favorite job thus far? Mama.
If you could grant anyone 1 wish, whose wish would it be? My husband.
If you had a 1 week vacation, where would you go or what would you do? As little as motherly possible on the beach.
And lastly, what other name would you like for yourself? Nah, I'm good.

If you could pick any other middle name for LO, what would it be? Um...
What kind of cellphone do you have? A Samsung something-or-other I got from my sister when my old one broke
What brand of laptop or desktop do you own? I use a Dell. The Mr. has a Dell for work, a Dell for personal, our home server is a mutt, and there's another mutt running Linux down in the basement somewhere.
Do you get pedicures or do them yourself? I love pedicures, but don't usually spend the money.
How about manicures? I'm a reformed nail-biter. I don't wear polish, but do keep up with filing and my cuticles.
What is your favorite hairstyle for yourself? You can style it?
How about hair color? I've got darkish brown with lots of different highlights. I like it.
What has been your favorite job thus far? My last one. I loved my boss and it was a really good job. I was the controller for a swimwear manufacturer. I miss working, but I'm so grateful that I can stay home with Johnny.
If you could grant anyone 1 wish, whose wish would it be? I'd grant Johnny a wish, to be made when he was 25 years old.
If you had a 1 week vacation, where would you go or what would you do? I'd pick a European country and see as much of it as I could without rushing.
And lastly, what other name would you like for yourself? My mother almost named me Helen, but I'm Emily instead. I don't know that any other name would suit me at this point in my life - I'm just Em.

What is your LO's middle name? Thomas.
What were your other top middle names for LO that didn't get used? We did not have any others. All of our boys are named after the men right up Dh's side of the family. Max's mn (Anthony)=FIL's first name; Jack Henry=paternal grandpa's name, and Theo's mn (Thomas)=paternal great-grandpa
Do you think their middle name fits them? Yes.
If you could pick any other middle name for LO, what would it be? Well, we aren't going to go to great-great grandpa's name, so the only other mn option (in staying with our "theme") would be after Dh - Timothy. It does not go well with LO's first name.
What kind of cellphone do you have? LG Optimus (Android).
What brand of laptop or desktop do you own? Dell (hubby wouldn't allow us to own anything else)
Do you get pedicures or do them yourself? I get pedis Spring through Fall.
How about manicures? I do my own fingernails.
What is your favorite hairstyle for yourself? My hairstyle doesn't have a name. It's just long and curly, no bangs.
How about hair color? I like my natural hair color - almost black. Right now, I have a little blond/brown highlights.
What has been your favorite job thus far? Really, just being a mom is my fave job although I can't say I could be a full-time SAHM for more than 6 months or I'd start climbing the walls. I like my 20-hour work week to get out for some routine adult time, a need to get "dressed up" (professional wear, fixing my hair, putting on make-up), the sense that I'm giving back to my community, and bringing a little of my own money into the household.
If you could grant anyone 1 wish, whose wish would it be? I'd grant health to a terminally ill child. Don't ask me why, that was just the first idea that popped into my head.
If you had a 1 week vacation, where would you go or what would you do? I'm starting to plan our first trip to DISNEYWORLD!!!! (I'd also really like a European tour - Italy, France, and Greece on the top of my list - but I need 2 weeks for that.)
And lastly, what other name would you like for yourself? I don't know. That's hard to imagine. I've never been attracted to another name for myself.
