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 Maree, as is my mother's. Her mother (my Nan) didn't have a middle name so I'm not sure where it came from. I don't really like Maree that much, but I intend to give it to my first daughter, to continue the tradition -- Isabel Maree _____ (name from paternal grandmother/family member)

lol I never thought of what a person called Marie/Maree would have as a middle name. Maybe Jane? Elizabeth? Louise?

I knew a girl named Marie Therese. I thought it was pretty.
