    I was briefly married to a Georgia, but the family wasn’t Southern. The fathers name was George and that is also what he named his first son, so his first daughter was Georgia.

    Never have understood the phenomenon of fathers passing down their name, you’ve already cursed your child with the family name, why make things harder on the poor whelp?

        I know plenty of women that carry an old school second name because there grandmother’s names are passed down. Like Elisabeth, or Rose or the like.
