Barclay. I would have been teased because that's the name of Linda's dog on Sesame Street. I also remember what my one cousin said to help us remember how to spell our grandma's name. You BEAT RICE with a BAR of CLAY. Luckily (?) I'm not the first granddaughter on that side. If Chelle would have ended up with it, I'd be off the hook. Unless my parents decided to use a grandma's maiden name. Mueller or Grandy.

Although, since we have plenty of last names that came from first names in my dad's side, two of my cousins (one male, one female) got that kind of a name (Peter and Danielle). Dani's son has a middle name that is a translation of her last name, Pierre. Yes, my aunt's maiden name and my uncle's last names are both forms of Peter, but come from different languages. My sister and another female cousin on that side gave their sons the mn Daniel, from their maiden names.
