How I Got My Name

Too many Bettie Lous

In regards to how I got my name, I was born at home. A crazy woman who helped when babies were born was there. She named all boy babies something, and she named all girl babies Bettie Lou. My parents were young and didn’t say anything.

The doctor was as crazy as the woman was and put Bettie Lou on my birth certificate. My daddy didn’t like Bettie Lou, so he called me Marie. Until I was grown I thought I had three names.
