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 mothers middle name was marie, which was after her mother, who was named mary, but they thought colleen marie sounded better than colleen mary. i plan on passing it down someday, but its second in line, so i would have to have two girls.
