My older sister makes fun of this name. That's because when she was very young, say 12 or 13, it was her "favorite name" and she would say at that age that when she had a girl her name was going to be Maureen. This changed and when she had a daughter years later her name was Heather, not Maureen. So Maureen has become to my sister the "stupid name you like when you're 12 but you later thankfully grow out of." She always says it "Maur--EEEEN", emphasizing the last syllable because she thinks the last syllable is so stupid. (She does the same thing with her own middle name, Eileen. Which she thinks is horrible.)

It kinds of grates on me, to be honest. Kind of agree with my sister, to be honest.
