Just found this and had to add mine. My parents named me Gloria Aileen Y. Not such a bad thing when they named me in 1976, but definitely bad when my high school classmates figured out it spelled GAY. When I got married, I hyphenated my last name-for lots of reasons, but one was because I would have gone from GAY to GAG-not any better! This way I'm GAYG.
