The phenomenon that is Marie

[traezer.livejournal.com]

So, why is it that Marie is everyone's and their mother's middle name? Its so rarely used as a first name. Whenever I meet someone named Marie I think "wait...thats against the rules, what possibly could their middle name be???"

Anywho, thoughts on Marie as a middle and first name? Would you ever give this middle name to your daughter?

My mother's name IS Marie.
But mine is Lynn, which is the OTHER middle name. LOL

I would never use it or anything similar (mary, merry, mariah...nope) because I'm bitter towards a Maria. LOL

funny you should use the word bitter, as Mary means "sea of bitterness"
