My non mudcat (legal) name is Harriet, which was apparently very common in the late 19th and early to mid 20th century, and now has all but disappeared. (at least in the US after the 1950s or possibly early 1960s. It may be slightly more existent in England, I think.) I really dislike it, which is why I'm signing on as a guest and not letting it associate with my Mudcat member name! I have actually looked into how to do a legal name change, but so far have not taken the plunge. Still on my mind, though.

Like most people my age or older who I know with this name, I was named after an older relative named Harry.

My mother's middle name is Florence, which you don't really hear anymore either.
