Phyllis Grode

This is a nice story about a girl frustrated by her long name. Over the course of the book, members of her family relate the stories of those she is named after, and she begins to appreciate the name she has. Unfortunately, the cover in particular, and most of the illustrations, are quite dated and off-putting. But the story itself is worth a read.

Sophie Davida Finkle-Cohen wants to shorten her name until she learns about her namesakes.
