ArchivesSounds kinda like how my mother got her name. :)
in reply to a message by Magia
My mother's parents couldn't agree on what to name her, so her original birth certificate had on it "Unnamed", but, through useage, everybody knew her as either Sister or Harriette.
The spelling came about because there were three Harriets in one of her classes, so the first one was Harriet, the second was Harriett, and Mom, being the third one, got Harriette. She finally had it legalized when she was close to 50. She's now 73, has fourth stage cancer which has affected her liver, and is right now in a hospice program.
