My first name was my mother's middle name and my dad insisted that I have it. My middle name came from a girl that my mother knew growing up. She always thought the girl was lovely and the name was a positive thing in her mind. A niece in my ex's family was given my first name as her middle name. We seem to do that a lot in our family as both of my own daughters' middle names came from aunts, as well. (wow... how confusing is THIS post? LOL!)
