My name is Elaine. Named by my Dad. When I was a teen, I didn't like my name. I changed the spelling to Elayne. By the time everyone got used to it, I decided I really liked Elaine and liked that fact that my Dad named me. I later learned Elaine was a middle name of two of my cousins and also an aunt.

When I was a kid, having our name was a little hard because it was very rare that personalized stuff was ever in Elaine. Between the Judy Bloom book "You Give Me a Pain Elaine" that came out when I was 11 or 12 and Sr Louise at my grade school (Louise is my middle name), I had it a little tough. Now I have embraced my name. And it is kind of cool to know that my French ancestry is honored along with my German ancestry in my last name.
