For the longest time I hated my middle name - Renata. Not that it's a bad name or anything, but apparently it's a combination of each of my grandmothers' names, and I kinda hate my one grandma... it sounds terrible but I was always weirded out in that way. But any way....
Jean. I guess it could be pretty in the Norma Jean sense but it's always reminded me more of John, so I hate it.
I like Renata, but maybe that is because my favorite restaurant of all time is called "Renata's Creperie" My middle name is Marie, just like about 50 million other girls'
My mom's name is Renate. Are you a good old fashioned german girl?? I will not spell my middle name but here it is "Ah-fay-mee-ah" It's latin so dont even ask .... I think its that silly catholic shit again.
