Has anyone noticed that all the father's (the one's who are around anyway) seem to be lawyers? I mean, there's Mallory's dad who's a corporate lawyer, Stacy's dad who was a corporate lawyer and is now VP of a firm (I think) and Mary Ann's dad who's also a lawyer. What do the other dad's do and what do the Mother's do? Just curious.

I've noticed that too about the fathers. I've also noticed that a lot of the men in the series seem to have the name "John" or some variation of it. Ann doesn't seem to have too much creativity when it comes to names and occupations - maybe these things just weren't important to her but they jump out at me.

^Seriously. How many freaking Johns were there, like 100? Don't get me started on the two John Ramsey brothers, either, because I will end up ranting all day.  |

Seriously. Is one of Ann's close relatives named John or something? Because she seems to have quite a big love for that name.  |

^ I have always wondered that, too. ;D And I also wonder why she doesn't ever use some common men's names - like Tom (my dad's name and the name of about 5 guys he works with). My mom said maybe she had ex-s with those names ;D

Doubtful, aln.  I don't think ann has ever had a boyfriend. John is a name that sounds good with a lot of last names, I guess. And actually I think mallory's dad's name was sometimes jonathan and sometimes john... Jonathan, by the way, was also abby's dad's name! Ahhh! |

I just remembered that the Arnold twins' dad is also named Jack--which we all know is can be a nickname for everyones favorite male name--John. ;D

^ Jessi's dad was definitely refered to as Alex and Mr. Pike as Daniel at least once early in the series. Can't remember which books, though.

^ So it was just that the ghostwriters forgot those two people's names and just decided to label them John for the rest of the series? Makes sense to me, it is an easy name to remember.
