Haley, my daughter, used to ask me why my mother gave me a name that was also a boys name. She used to say "I'm glad you didn't do that to me!" Then along came Haley Joel Osmont... oh well!

>>I know. When I was young and living in Wisconsin I was the only Tracy in my entire town (of 8,000). When I moved to Colorado and went to school in Denver (the school had 3000 students alone) there was a young man in my class whose name was Tracy and he spelled it the same as I do. Most women who are named Tracy spell it Tracey or Traci or Tracie. I guess my mom didn't know the difference or didn't care! :o)
