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 middle name is Marie.
My cousin's first name is Marie.

In my case, my middle name is Marie not because its popular as a middle name, but because it is a family name that my parents wanted to include with me.

And yes, I would give my daughter the middle name Marie...because of the family history. I plan to use all family middle names.

Its kind of annoying how expected Marie seems to be as a middle name...but then again I don't actually see it as much as I think people expect. I know plenty of people my age with Ann, Elizabeth, Brooke etc. as middle names.
