From one Lorraine to another...

Lorraine is French, and means "from Lorraine", an area in France.
I never liked my name while growing up, and to this day I go by
my nickname "Lori".  (My parents gave me the nickname "Lorry", which
NEVER got spelled right, or else it got confused with Larry, so 
I just changed the spelling.)
