SC - Period Ingredients Master List

[Decker, Terry D.]

Sometimes people just can't name their babies what they want to.  :-)
My own mother was born in Kearney, Ontario, Canada.  She named me:
Alsace-Lorraine Denise.  Dad was away in the Korean War and after my birth 
Mother went into a coma.  Her mother showed up to get me from the hospital.  
Grandmother's first name is Alice and she thought Alsace was her name 
misspelt.  So she had it deleted from the Birth Certificate.  The person 
doing the certificate replaced the hyphen so now my name is Lorraine-Denise.  
Well, Grandpa shortened it to Raine and so it stands.

 Not just France, but in the good ol' USA also -- at least, in St. Louis, and
 when I was born, which is why my birth certificate's authentication is
 somewhat after my date of birth.  (I had a stubborn mother.)  Apparently
 "Margo," which is a perfectly good name in France, didn't exist in Missouri.
 My mother had to show them.
