People often ask why we call our daughter Mo. Well let me explain! We always knew if were going to have a little girl, we would call her Madeline. As for a boy, that's a different story. We had a couple of boy names picked out, and when we picked those names 7-8 years ago, they were original. Today, those same 2 names are over-used and far too popular. So we decided to be different and name our boy Oliver. Well, David decided on Oliver. I was too concerned about our little boy getting beat up in school!

Before we knew the baby's gender, we would call her "Madoliver" - a blend between the 2 names. And when that got old, we called her MO. And, well, the name just stuck!
