My daughter is
Beatrice Elizabeth Anne:
Beatrice after my mother,
Elizabeth after my step-MIL's mn (she was
Edith Elizabeth and always went by Bunty!) and
Anne is my mn, after one of my grandmothers. So, there you are: no guns required.
My daughter used to have difficulty getting people on phone-in radio, or taking pizza orders by phone, to get
Beatrice right, so she considered her options and tried being
Bess, only for those purposes. It worked. What she didn't know was that one of my mother's friends used to call her
Bess, for no known reason.
