I'm not sure what they were thinking. Se grew up in a very small southern town with Betty Sue's and Mary Jane's, so stood out big time. She now goes by her very ordinary middle name.Maureenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693317239250946604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-63943636095068805112011-04-29T21:42:18.244-04:002011-04-29T21:42:18.244-04:00I know this post may offend some people but I agre...I know this post may offend some people but I agree with you on this one.

And by differently I mean the traditional Gaelic way - Orlaith. Even though it looks tough, it is just pronounced Orla, and she can always opt to spell it that way, the "Americanized" version, if she chooses later in life. Naming a baby is hard work!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155461143562481858noreply@blogger.com
