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 know a Marie. her middle name is Louise :)

I think a lot of people who are religious, Catholic, really, choose a form of Mary as a middle name. Mary itself doesn't usually flow as a middle name, so Marie works better.
