Also, girls of my generation were limited to having one of three middle names:

Ann
Marie
Lynn

Seriously, you ask a woman born in the second half of the 50's and 1st half of the 60's what their middle name is, and I swear at least 70% will list one of the above! :)

I always wanted to name my boy (never birthed one) Gordon after my Dad's brother who was killed in a car accident back in the '40's.
