One thing I must say about the naming of children and then I'm off the subject. Please, by all that is good and right in the universe do not ever do what my ex did and insist on giving a child the name Mary Marie. There's just no bloody need for something like that.
Well, the brother of my maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Fernando Robertson. We're still wondering how a third generation Scots-American got that name.

And I used to work with a Margaret Mary. She went by Margie.
