Tucker and Tate

Last night I was doing laundry and noticed the label on a couple of Ari's shirts that I had picked up at Nordstrom last year.  "Tucker and Tate."  How upper middle class.  How Nordstrom.  What's the chance of the "Jaden and Jerome" line?  How about "Rigoberto and Ibrahim?"  Yes, when I think of Tucker and Tate, I also think "how White." 

And what is the girl equivalent?  (Not having a girl, and not regularly kid-clothes-shopping at Nordstrom, I'll have to guess.)  Emma and Olivia?  Or is it Emma and Abigail?  I'm sure it's not Laisha and Yasmin.  Or  Crystal and Amber.  So trashy white girl. 

So Tucker and Tate.  Is that who Nordstom shoppers are, or who they aspire to be?
