Answer 6

My first name was after my Great Grandmother. My middle name was after my Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Great Great Grandmother.
My mom said I didn't look like a rose so she put that as my middle name. She had to keep it in the family I guess. My daughters middle name is now the same as mine.
I felt like I needed to do the same as my mother did.
Hopefully one of my girls will give one of their kids one of the family names.
I wish my first name had been Rose, I don't like my first name, sounds like an old persons name. LOL
