My niece is
Maureen, nn
Mo. Her mother (my SIL) wanted to name her after the most beautiful woman she could think of --
Maureen O'Hara. :-) She's in her early twenties now.
Anyway, my SIL is a grade school teacher and has noticed two or three Maureens in the last few years. They live in a mid-size city on the U.S. west coast. This is a long winded way of saying that it only takes one brave soul naming their child
Eileen or
Maureen for others to notice. (At least that's what I choose to believe. :-P )
