That's insane. I'd sooo hate my mother for that.
My middle name is bad enough but I gotta give mom credit since GAY didn't mean 'homosexual', it meant 'happy', when she gave me that for a middle name. I still which she'd at least have used Gaylin instead of Gay. At least I rarely use my middle name for things and usually I can get away with just the middle initial.
If it's any consolation I named my daughter Laura Elizabeth. They're both family names and about as normal as names come. They're spelled traditionally too. I didn't want her to have to spell her name for every teacher and other person. This way she can just say her name and no one should misspell it unless they simply can't spell.
I wanted to name our daughter Marcy or Marcie (French) but hubby wasn't crazy about either one. So I got vetoed. At least I got my second favorite name 'Elizabeth'.
