First name as I don't have a middle one.

I was first girl born into our family and by tradition should have been named after my father's mother, Nicolena. She was very ill before my parent's were married and told my mother not to name the first girl after her but after her daughter (Marie) who died at age 6. So much for death bed promises as I was named May, not Maire. Probably would have hated being called Nicolena when I was a kid but being called Nicky wouldn't have been bad. I have a niece named after my grandmother, but family naming has been more relaxed over the years as her name is Nicole. May in Jersey
