May Day (though, she married into it)
Mary Christmas (I always thought that a cruel joke for her parents to play)

on these lines - history of odd initials and a fortuitous mistake -
Ulysses Grant's given name was "Hiram Ulysses Grant", but his family called him Ulysses (of "Lys" for short); but when his Congressman agreed to recommend him to West Point he got the idea that Ulysses was his first name, and his middle name was "Simpson" (his mother's maiden name), so wrote "Ulysses S Grant" on the forms. Grant intended to get it fixed, but that was complicated, and he apparently decided he might not want the initials "H.U.G" on his possessions, and allowed "U.S. Grant" to stand (From this other cadets started calling him "Uncle Sam" or simply "Sam" -- which many friends called him from then on. Until he earned a new nickname early in the Civil War. When he forced the surrender of Fort Donelson the defeated commander asked what terms he would offer. His response -- "no terms except unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted". Hence he became "Unconditional Surrender Grant" to a public hungry for a victory.
