I am probably the first generation in my Virginia family who actually are known by their given names LOL! My Mom's generation was maybe 50-50.

Among other things, I think that computers have made us standardize names somewhat. A name in one record needs to "match" the names in the other records. Computers don't know that my daughter Margaret is called "Peggy" by most people.
