My middle name is very common...Marie.
That makes my name Vera Marie Bialowas (Hartling).
Vera=my dad's mom's name
Marie=my mom's mom's middle name
Bialowas=my husband's last name
Hartling=my maiden name
My parents had this thing...they named both my bro and I after their parents. Our first names are after my dad's parents (who passed on before my parents got married) and our middle names are my mom's parent's middle names!
I plan to do something similar with my first daughter. Art's mom has passed on (before we met) and I want to name my first daughter after his mom.
So, our first daughter's name will (hopefully!) be:
Danuta Anne Bialowas
Danuta is Art's mom's name (he's Polish....Danuta is the polish version of Donna...but I like Danuta much more!)
Anne is for Anne of Green Gables...my fave book and movie EVER!!!!
