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?

a friend at school's mn was marie and my sister and my niece have the middle name marie. i quite liked it until i became increasingly aware how common it is. but i suppose it tends to flow a lot better than mary, as a middle name. i don't think it's great as a first name as it's basically mary. it's nice as a middle name, just boring and pointless so i wouldn't give it as a middle name to my daughter.
