Mary Beth Leatherdale: Hi, my name is Maribeth Leatherdale. Although that I have no way to prove it, I've been told that my family name is Leatherdale because my ancestors were leather workers who lived in a dale. I think Leatherdale is quite easy to pronounce but I often get other names like, Leaderdale or Letterdale, or my least favorite, Leatherhead, but you won't make that mistake because you know it's pronounced Leatherdale.
