| 107.1 | It's a Grand Old Name | CSC32::ANNIN |  | Fri Aug 07 1987 18:41 | 13 | 
|  |     Marie, a derivation of Mary, probably the all time most often used
    female name since Christianity (maybe even before, just think of
    all the Mary's mentioned in the New Testament, Mary Magdalen, Mary
    and Martha, etc.).
    
    To quote George M. Cohen
    		"My Mother's name was Mary .... It's a grand old name"
    
    Not only a name of religious significance, it is such a pretty name
    and almost impossible to contort into something ugly as so many
    kids do when teasing others (my name is Peggy and boy what kids
    did to that growing up).

| 107.2 | No ones mentioned my name either | LOOKUP::PRUETT |  | Tue Sep 01 1987 14:14 | 10 | 
|  |     Don't feel bad.  My name is Dawnne Therese, which I think is pretty
    rare (only heard of two others but all spelled Dawn).  I have never
    heard of anyone using Therese which sounds like Theresa without
    the "a".  I like the name although this is the first time I really
    thought about it.  I used to think it was boring when I was a kid
    because everyone had nicnames and Dawnne can't get any shorter.
     
    In high school I got my wish of having a nicname.  It was Shortie,
    (I'm only 5 feet tall.)

| 107.3 | Another Therese (what's this have to do with Marie? | REGENT::EPSTEIN | Bruce Epstein | Thu Sep 03 1987 12:00 | 4 | 
|  |     The woman in the office next to me goes by Th�r�se
    (if you have a VT100, that's Therese, with accents 
    on each e), which was originally her middle name.
    She pronounces it the French way, as Ter-ez.

|  |     One of my very best friends' name is Marie Alice.  Her parents are
    French and pretty religious.
    If it helps to "ease the pain", Marie, I named all my dollies "Marie"
    when I was little.
    I've gotten a little off-the-track since then, though.

| 107.5 | Ann (no dash) Marie | KAOA05::LEWIS | Michael | Thu Dec 31 1987 13:32 | 7 | 
|  |     My sister's names are Ann (first name) and Marie (middle name) or
    so it appears.  She doesn't have a middle name and her first name
    is 'Ann Marie'.  You should see the look on her face when she gets
    Driver's licences, etc. which list her as Ann M. Lewis.  Ann and
    Marie were great grandmothers on my mom's side.  My mom is Katherine
    Anne.

| 107.6 | Another Marie | PIGGY::MCCALLION |  | Sun Apr 24 1988 18:39 | 5 | 
|  |     My name is Marie Therese.. never cared much for the Marie as a first
    name. Can't get a nickname from it.  Marie is (was?) an often used
    middle name since it goes so well with most female names.

    def; WARREN: 1.An area where rabbits live in burrows.
                 2.Any overcrowded place of habitation.
    
    Given the aforementioned definition, 'MT Warren' implies
    either an empty rabbit hole (empty warren) OR
    an empty overcrowded place (Oxymoron?)
    
    small world,

| 107.11 | No nicks!! | MAIL2::FENNELL |  | Wed Apr 19 1995 14:33 | 7 | 
|  |     My Mother gave me the name Marie because--
    
    	o it was her Mother's name
    	o you can't make a nickname out of it (Mom hates nicknames)
    
    
    Personally, I love the way "Marie Elizabeth" sounds...just got luck :)
