I have one of those wonderful? southern double names! Mary Sue. My Daddy always called me Sue, Susie or SusieQ but Mother and her family called me Mary Sue. When I went to school, the teacher called "Mary" and I didn't answer so I got in trouble. No one had ever called me "Mary". I then decided I would be Sue. Several years ago I started using the two names without a space. That works for doctor offices, etc. Like the other Sue, I hate that song, A Boy Named Sue. People do not believe my name is just Sue and want to use Susan or Suzanne. Both of my names are family names. When I was born I had an Aunt Mary, a Great-Aunt Mary and a Great-Great Aunt Mary. My sister had all boys so it stopped. (They are all glad!) The Sue is for my GreatGrandmother who was a quilter. The problem with Sue is there are so many of them!! Every place I have worked there has been 2-5 of us. So I wanted my girls to have unique names. Denise (Denni), Dynell, Dalene and Denette. Dynell is pronounced with the first syllable like Denise. Dalene is the end of Mary Magdalene (named after a friend of my Aunts).
