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 daughter's mn is Marie. My husband's family all have Marie as a middle name basically so we did it to pass it on to her. Her name is actually Lillian Marie and that is all his side. We named her after his grandmother and before Lillian/Lily got so damn popular!
