Well, it's family reunion time for mother's side of the family, and I thought it might be fun ((and prudent, to help me remember)) to make a list of all the people who are going to be converging upon my parents' house tomorrow.  It's incomplete; at best, it's missing most of the middle names and a worst, it's missing a few cousins.  I tried asking my mother about her siblings' middle names last time I spoke to her, but she was in an absolute fit about the fact that they only own one coffee pot and don't have enough towels...

I'm kind of on the fence about a couple names- Marcia, for example.  I love it, but probably because it's associated with that aunt...?  Anyway, I probably wouldn't use any of these except my parents' names as middle names for ((way way in the future)) kids.
