Here they are!!!

> Who proposed the original name for MOTM (Hint:  It was a women.)?

Dan Higdon's wife
 
> When was it proposed?

September 10, 1997 (publicly, perhaps a day or two before privately)

> What were the original initials that were proposed?

MoM

> What was the *initial* form factor MOTM was based on (Hint:  It was not the final decision.)?

Digisound

> What was the planned first module called?  What functions would be on board (Hint:  It never
> went into production.)?

"General Purpose Processing Module"
  * precision sample/hold
  * noise generator
  * ring modulator with built-in mic pre-amp
  * undedicated VCA

> What noted synth personality helped design the VCO?

Doug Curtis (although I don't know to what degree).  I don't know if any of the fruit of this
joint effort ended up in the MOTM-300 or not ultimately.  I do know *A LOT* of ideas were kicked
around and the initial limited-run design was CEM3340 based (later discarded).
