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?

(i'm gonna get snarked for this i know it but..)

Whenever i find out someones middle name is Marie (or ann or lynn or anything like that) my first thought is "Hmm their parents were lazy"

Idk why it just frustrates me. Marie is a pretty name though. Its my moms middle name (But it was given to her by the catholic church or something...not by her parents. My middle name is Ann and i still think my parents are lazy :P)

Hmm, my mom claims she wasn't lazy with my siblings and I... ;p

Seriously though, our middle names are Lynn, John, and Marie. Heh.
