Re: The Dionne Quintuplets
in reply to a message by Kinga
I'm neutral on all of the first names except Cecile, which I don't like.
My sister is married to a French Canadian (well, he is an American citizen now but his parents were French Canadians and never became citizens), and she says that there's a tradition amongst French Canadians to give every girl the middle name Marie and every boy the middle name Joseph. That's why I won't comment upon Marie being seen here as a middle name four times and only not being seen as a middle name because it's the first name.
