Being a Sue and never being different all my life I gave my daughters unusal names.
I picked Denise Lynne when I was about 12 and then it was unusal. Lynne has a "e" on the end because I loved Anne (with a "e") of Green Gables.
Next came Dynell Leigh pronounced as if spelled Denell. My sister had a friend named Janell and I had a friend named Delayne so we put them together. Leigh is for Janet Leigh who I loved.
Notice now that their initials are the same.
Next came Dalene Sue. Dalene is the end of Mary Magdalene. My aunt had a friend with this name. Her christening name was Magdalene and her Mother was afraid people would call her Maggie so she used Dalene.
Next came Denette Letha. Had to keep the Da going and girls knew a girl at their school with this name. Letha was my Grandmothers name.
My Granddaughter is Karlynne putting together her Mother's middle name and the first part of my Mother's name - Carmen.
My Great Grandfather's name was Pinkney.
