It’s a southern thing
Yeah, my moms family is form the south, hence the name Betty Donna, it’s a southern thing. I hadn’t realized how much of a southern thing it was until I attended school up north, not many people had the two first name thing going on up there. So I stood out a bit, but I liked it, many people found my ways to be more comforting. Just because the real estate is more expensive, doesn’t mean them yankees have a monopoly on everything. Courtesy and manners go a long way, even in todays over connected 24 seven digital internet world.
Anyways, for all those people that asked, and the people who are wondering without asking, it’s something common in the south and it has deep meaning with close relatives.
