Comment left Aug 10, 2008: "The Star of the Sea derivation you cite is incorrect. Actually comes from the Hebrew root for "bitter." Not a great set-up for a daughter's life." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 06, 2007: "My mother chose for me the names of the two women from the Bible whom she most admired, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. I feel blessed to be named Mary Ruth and am fortunate to truly enjoy my names and feel comfortable with them. I also rather like that they are not a common combination, despite the popularity of both names in my generation." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 05, 2007: "I have lived for over 50 years with this name...and I have yet to learn to like it. I go by my initials - MC because I just can't get the ear for the sound of 'MARY' - I acknowledge its history and tradition - but after years of Catholic school when half the class turned around at the calling of the name, and 3 older brothers who used the nursery rhyme assault, I have learned to ignore the call of that name. If peole want me, they have to call out MC or MaryChris" (Report as inappropriate)
