I have used my middle name for years, but very recently decided to refer to my
first name, Marian. It is softer and it honours my grandmother, Mary, and her mother, Anna. They both died before I was born. My aunt was born Anna, but after a high fever that wouldn't break, my grandfather out of desperation, asked the gypsies for help. They told her parents to change the girl's name to a compound, with three syllables and 6 letters. Anna became Marian. Then the gypsy gave her some herbal concoction and her fever broke the next day. Love the family story. Proud to honour my ancestors!
