    Amy (I went to school with hundreds of girls with this name

    Melissa/Missy
    Susan/Sue/Susie
    John/Johnny

    Also, girls of my generation were limited to having one of three middle names:

    Ann
    Marie
    Lynn

    Seriously, you ask a woman born in the second half of the 50's and 1st half of the 60's what their middle name is, and I swear at least 70% will list one of the above! :)

    I always wanted to name my boy (never birthed one) Gordon after my Dad's brother who was killed in a car accident back in the '40's.

    Is this really your name? I hate to get personal but our you Jewish? I would imagine if you go into parts of NY and FL you would find a lot of Bernie's, Morty's, Murray's and Ira's. Not so many in Ohio.
