If your middle name is Marie...
Congratulations! You share a middle name with such luminaries as Jennifer Marie Banner, Laura Marie Bacon, Carey Marie Tanner, some girl named Lisa, Heather Marie Cachat, Teena Marie Brown, Debra Marie Polk (whi likes the name so much she goes by it), Sarah Marie Campbell, Christina Marie Burnell, a basketball player at Rider University, an adoptee, a cat, just another node in a family tree (or maybe this one), some mysterious teenybopper, a person resting in Hayes Township Cemetery, not one but two of the closest friends of the founder of Marie Publishing, and this rather over-assiduously parented baby. This being the 90's, we also can't forget Victor Hugo, who has this stunningly incomplete biography floating around, or this cross-dresser.

Furthermore, you might even be eligible for one of these awards. Maybe you're even that person's girlfriend.

Another perk of having a middle name of Marie is that if you ever decide to conceal your identity, like this woman, you've got a nice, French-sounding backup.

And if your first name is Samantha, you ought to know something: your parents are not original. Rather, they're defrauding this woman of credit that is rightfully hers. I suggest you disown your parents, find her, and tell her that she's the parent you've always wanted. Consider this option also if your name is Meredith Maki, Rachel Wolfe, or Anna Henry.
