This resonates with me. My name is not one you see every day and I take its spelling and capitalization very seriously. When you see my full name, there's no mistaking me for anyone else. I was told all my life it should be in lights or in print. Part of what drew me to newsletter was your name, actually. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.

Interesting article about your name. My great grandmother was Irish. I never knew that about Mc. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like your mother was curious of cultures to come up with such a name, and it seems like that curiosity rubbed off on you. What a cool piece. Mc Nelly is a great name, especially when you learn the origin story.

Thanks for the feedback and reading. Yes, my mother is a very curious person and I had to endure with the ramifications of her curiosity.
