My m-i-l is named Gloria Jean so I've never thought of it as too Catholic. Also, the very few I've known in my lifetime weren't too anything so Gloria doesn't project any image to me at all. It's just a name -- a tad dated at that. Having said that, it is quite nice and could make a comeback and I'm baffled why my m-i-l would rather go by her mn and drop Gloria completely which is what she did when she married (even her headstone is pre-inscribed without it). She has never used it again which is a shame as I'd much rather be Gloria than Jean. Re: mns, I'd prefer something short and sweet.
