Grandma's name :o)
My Grandmother on my Mother's side is Belgian. Her name is
Haydeé Marie Octavie .
All the girls on her family had Marie as a MN. When she was a little girl until married, she went by Tavita, short for Octavie. Octavie is French female form of Octavius which means "eighth". She is number 8 out of 9 siblings. After she got married she started to go By Haydeé. She is now 89 and tragically suffering of Alzheimer's .I just wanted to share her name with you. I find it fascinating how she got it :o)
