Betsy Lewin: Hello, my name is Betsy Lewin. But it wasn't always Betsy Lewin. Before I married Ted Lewin, my name was Betsy Reilly. But my name isn't really Betsy, either. Want to know my full name? The name that is on my birth certificate? Are you ready for this?
It's Elizabeth Patchin Dowler Reilly.
I was named for my aunt, Elizabeth, my grandmother, Patchin, my grandfather, Dowler, and, of course, my father's name, Reilly. But no one ever called me anything but Betsy.
