Els, you have no idea how right you really are! I do indeed have a French first name and I've had a love/hate relationship with it all my life. Mostly hate, though. I was born in 1964 when the popular names were Debbie, Mindy, Linda, Melissa...how I ended up with the atrocity they hung on me...oh, wait, I do know. It is, like all truly hideous names, a family name. Why do families do this to innocent babies? It's like handing down a curse!
