- A lot of people in this area must feel that way - Mickey is the only
- Michael in his class of 24 kids, and I think only one of 2 or 3 in the
- school (about 125 kids, 2.5 - 6 years).
-
- We knew we were picking THE name, when we named him Michael, but he's
- named for his grandfathers, so at least we had a reason. His sister is
- Margaret Mary, after her grandmothers. Again, it's a common name
- (especially in our VERY Catholic neighborhood), but Mickey picked the
- nickname of Margee, so she shouldn't get lost in the crowd.
