Congrats on your daughter's accomplishments. I loved the book "The Yearling" and in 1963, named my son Jody Wayne after the book, and added the Wayne in case he wanted to use it instead , which he never did. Of course, in the next few years, everyone in the country started naming their daughters Jody, Jodie, Jodee, etc. My ex-husband was named Gayle. I do think this thread is fun, though.
If you live vicariouly through your children, then my daughter is making me a very successful person. In fact all five of my kids are living the lives I always wanted. It's great.
Gayle? My husband's name is Terry. When I go to the bank to make a deposit they always say "Thanks, Terry." I have a very feminine name, so I wonder if the think I'm in one of those non-traditional marriages.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
