Me either.  though I'm sure I could look it up.  I was bummed enough knowing 
that Mary means "bitter".  jeez, why couldn't I have gotten a nicer name?

I go by Mary Katherine anyway, so that's how I'll start signing my emails (or 
Mary K for short).  I picked that partly because there were always other 
Marys around.  the most unusual story I heard is of a Jewish girl named Mary 
whose parents were Holocaust survivors - they wanted to assimilate.

Mary K

People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
- Joni Mitchell
