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 not a Marie/Maria fan at all. I like Mary, but I'd probably never use it. I dunno, I agree with other people. It's a cop-out, a filler... plus, I know a Maria (she's Spanish, so I guess it works) and she's strange, to use a safe word.
