Jacqueline Kelly: Hello. My name Jacqueline Kelly. When I was born, I was called Jacqueline Sue Kelly, and as I grew up I really came to dislike the Sue part, especially after moving to Texas and people started calling me Jackie Sue. That just would not do, so when I turned 19 I became an American Citizen. I had been born in New Zealand and had been in New Zealand Citizen right up until then, but when you become an American Citizen you're allowed to change your name at no cost, and so I did, and I did a lot of research and looked for a lovely new middle name that I would live with for the rest of my life, and don't ask me why, but I came up with the name of Beatrice or Beatriche as it is in the romantic Italian version. So, now, I am stuck with the middle name of Beatrice and I hate it.
