We don't have any    I guess we're a pretty traditional/boring family lol.  The weirdest I can think of is my sister - Carrie.  But that's not even weird..

I totally blocked this out, lol. I should had added Lizzy Belle to my list. That was my mother's birth name and she was supposedly named after her great grandmother. She told me when she was in about the 4th grade, her school teacher changed her name and started calling her Elizabeth. My mom went home told her parents and they were fine with it. Which blew my mind. Anyway, many, many years later when we were looking up our family tree we discovered that her great grandmother's name wasn't Lizzy Belle, it was Isabel. So I'm guessing maybe Lizzy Belle was a nn? Anyway, so that's kind of a crazy naming story from my family. lol.

Say what? Was he/she conceived because somebody missed theirs? There has to be a great story here.
