Maryanne

This is my first name, spelling: Maryanne. I am surprised how many people can not grasp that spelling, or remember the name. I get Maty Jane, Anne-Marie, Mary-Jo, Mary-Beth...holy cow, it is not that hard! Also no one ever thinks it is one word. Most people think Mary is my first name and Anne is my middle name. Nope. Maryanne is my first name, Elizabeth is my middle name. I like that is is not common, which is probably why people mess it up so much. I am not ever mean about it. But it has been a life long thing.

That's not bad, this spelling, and it's so pretty to me. I prefer Marianne though.

I want to say this name is beautiful though I do have dislikes like anyone other human. Maryanne does look like “Mary-yanne” so that does make the name seem very strange. I do prefer Miriam.
