Have you seen the show?

I can actually remember the show American Dream; the only thing I can remember about the names is that the eldest male in every generation was a John (called Jack, JJ, and John, respectively; they were Catholic) and that somewhere (I think) there was a Pete/Peter/Petie.

I'm guessing you mean something like a 50's family, like "Leave it to Beaver"
DW: Susan Helen
DH: Ward Michael
DS: Bud Michael

Question

Do you want us just to make a family that has a DW, DH, DS, and DD or do you want us to make our dream family? Because mine would have more than two kids.

What's an American Dream Family?

I'm going to assume it means some kind of 1950's magazine-ad pretend family, and name them accordingly. These are all actual names from 1950 and 60's homemaker magazines I got from my great grandmother.

Wife: Jinx Pepper Pearl
Husband: Saul Byron Burton
Daughter: Sukie Anna May
Son: Sam Wilbur John

I think the only one who got my question.

Ah, ok. She's looking for a 1950's inspired stereotypical set, gang! :)

Have at it, it was actually really fun to make!

What do you mean by 'American Dream Family'?

I'm not American.

Did I ask if you were American?

Now now, no need for that

Your post was unclear, and we have a lot of non-American members on the board. It's only natural that many of us aren't sure what you are talking about.

Um..

That came across as rather rude. It was an honest question.

I agree.

And my American dream family would NOT have a husband and a wife.

What would it have then? What is your idea of the American Dream family?
