My first name is a variation of Mary.... My mother, both her grandmothers, and both my father's grandmothers are all named Mary. I escaped it by a hair (and four letters), a good thing since I've since found I have like 20 cousins named Mary... and I'm not a Christian.
My middle name is a variation of my mother's grandmother's middle name- she changed it to Elizabeth.
But since my parents were being original, they spelled it Elysabeth.
I've never seen
anyone else spell it that way!
