Peggy Dymond Leavey: Hello. My name is Peggy Dymond Leavey. Peggy is actually a nickname. My official name is Margaret, but no one ever calls me that. Dymond, with a Y, not the same as the sparkly kind, is my maiden name. That is, it was my family name before I got married. My last name, Leavey, is often mispronounced. The easiest way to remember how to say it is that its two syllables rhyme, Leavey.
