I feel a loyalty to it because it was my paternal grandmother's name. And although I was not close to her, and didn't even really like her, I have a strong sense of her as my grandmother, therefore it would not have been unthinkable for me to use it as an honoring middle name.

I think it less ugly than I used to, but I still think it's ugly, the English pronunciation anyway.

My grandmother was almost named Bridget.
