Welcome from another Marcia. You know it is the female of the name Mark, which means to leave a mark on the forehead of your dead enemies. I don't think my mother knew that when she named me. She had read a story in Ladies Home Journal and the heroine was Marcia. My first husband always called me Battle Axe and so when I looked up what my name really meant, it all made sense. I put the "e" on Ax because I've got a lot of Scottish blood in me and I thought the "e" made it old English.
You'll love this board. So many helpful, smart, encouraging folks here. This posts to my computer about 6:10 a.m. and I am here waiting for it to start my day.
