HelpRe: Anna vs Katherine
in reply to a message by Lily
I dislike the name Anna. I can't really place why, but it's one of those names that I've just never liked. I find it very plain and very common. I have known many girls my age named Anna (sometimes just Anne), and a few with double first names (Anna Marie, Anna Elizabeth, etc.). I could never use Anna by itself. I'd have to use a long name with Anna/Ana in it, like Annabelle or Liliana, with no nickname.
One of my top MN choices for a girl is Katherine. I don't like any nicknames for Katherine, so for me, using as a middle name is the only way to get around the nicknames. I usually find myself pairing it with two syllable FNs (and our 2 syllable LN). I think it's overused in some pairings - I went to school with tons of girls named Mary Katherine, and all of them went by Katie - but not as a name by itself. I've also most often come across 'Katherine' as the spelling. I've only known one girl whose name was spelled differently and it was 'Catherine'. I've never personally known a girl with any other variation. I am definitely planning to use Katherine as a middle name.
