*carrie* Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 In the states they use mother's maiden names as first names a lot don't they? But they sound weird to us. Yes..I know some Glovers and Ropers and Brannens. It sounds weird to me too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
