You can't deny it goes well with literally every single name out there.

If people are curious about your middle name, well, they won't be curious for long.

You know it means "sea of bitterness" or "sea of sorrow," so you never really understood why it was so popular.

Either way, you're stuck with it. (Unless you wanna change it, which you totally can, but to do so legally would be a pain and your mom also might get sad.)

So, to all you fellow Maries out there, I see you and I stand with you.
