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 Dad's side of the family is French, and all of the Maries in my family tree (of which there have been many) have had middle names like Louise or Anne.

Or there's also this awesome Canadian figure skater whose name is Marie-France.
