It's obvious from reading these names that one of your ears is ever so slightly higher on your head than the other.

Ha, well that's actually true. My glasses are always crooked. :)

Firstly they say you clearly have fantastic taste ;)Glancing quickly at the lists I'd assume you're British, but a few of the names like Virginia have an American flavour to them so I'd imagine that you're likely to be from the US but have a fondness for Britain and British culture - particularly the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras. I'd guess you like classic literature, you're highly educated, perhaps upper-middle class from a family that's been in the US for quite a long time (maybe with some British ancestry), and you're quite traditional and family-oriented.

I'm the most traditional socialist academic you'll ever meet. :)

Upper-middle class mommy blogger with a pack of well-behaved blonde children. Wants to give off a "perfect" image, but struggles from time to time. Not much of a risk-taker. Likes to travel and take her kids with her, to make them worldly. Homeschools the kids while the husband makes six figures at work. Lives in a big house that looks like it's straight from a John Hughes movie.

HAHA! But you know that's totally not what I'm like.

You come from a good background and you value strength in family rather than solitude or rebelliousness. For some reason, I think you are religious - but I may be wrong. Your name choices are both traditional - but also simple and refined. For some reason I want to guess that you are from the US, by many generations, but your inclusion of Alfred screams UK to me. Anyway - I would not guess that you have a background in Asian, African or even the Romatic European countries. Education is very important to you, and you prefer simlicity over drama. I would guess that you are a good cook, and tend to do much of the housework (if you are married). I do think you would be the kind of person to get married (if you are not) and would take a lot of joy in being a wife... not just mother. I am going out on a limb and guessing that you majored in the literary or social sciences, rather than in science, math or performance majors. Nothing technical... but rather practical. Very much a Wuthering Heights type pf person. High collar humor and all that. I also think that you dress well and would never go out in your PJs. Your names are both solid and convey class - which means that you come from the middle class or higher. I think you would enjoy going to a brunch over going to a rave. etc.
I might be far off - but hope I am close!

I must say that reading that was absolutely delightful. You got a lot of stuff right, but some stuff wrong too. I am not religious, but I am somewhat traditional. I am American, Southern, and I'm getting a PhD in literature. I'm not married, but I want to be. I want kids.

I can guess that you're a sort of person that likes to mix the good old days of your life with modern touches. I'm not sure I'm phrasing this correctly but...
