Mamie? This has to be the most annoying southern cliche-ridden name..

And what's your name?? Madison, Mason, MacKenzie, Brittany...hmmm.

I love the name Mamie. It's very old-school. And, by the way, most hillbillies know how to spell "stupid."

I like the name Mamie...

and where do you get the thought Meryl Streep and her husband are hillbillies??

Mamie isnt her birth name anyway.

it's Mary Willa

her mother Meryl's is Mary Louise
and i beleive Meryl'smother's name is Mary too....
so she had to have a pet/stage name

you couldent go around their house saying Mary and expecting only one person to answer could you?

Don't kid yourself, Francesca you are anything but a simple woman -

it works so it doesn't matter. she's beautiful and a wonderful actress, doesn't matter the name.

:]

Don't kid yourself, Francesca you are anything but a simple woman -

beautiful, heh, oh well, redneck standards indeed

The only other person I've heard of called Mamie was Pres. Eisenhower's wife, who came from an upper middle class family in Iowa.

What makes you think it's a "southern cliche-ridden name"? Are you perhaps confusing it with Mammy (as in Gone with the Wind)?

Hillbillies? Rednecks?
Meryl grew up In New Jersey and was educated at Vasser and Yale
Her husband is a reknowned sculptor who came to New York City via Indiana.
You fit the cliche of an obnxoious 14 year old smart mouth imbecile.

Thank goodness someone had the sense to mention Mamie Eisenhower! Mrs. Eisenhower had some stiff competition back in the 1950s though, as another "Mamie" was hugely popular on the printed page, the stage, and the screen - Mame Dennis Burnside.
