ArchivesRe: Care to speculate with me?
in reply to a message by Katharine
what?!?
This is the craziest thead I have read in a while. My middle name is Catherine that is why I am here.
But Woah nelly!
Why were you so excited that your name didn't directly mean pure if you really don't think that the meaning of names coincide with a persons personality at all. I shouldn't have affected you either way.
The meaning could still mean pure. Why do you think that just because it says on this site that the Romans were wrong, that they actually were wrong. I think that they could have been right. How do you know?It isn't that far of a stretch to be derived from Katharos. It seems a lot more likely than the other derivatives that they have in the meaning.

Yeah... wow... what a thread. Maybe it's my fever, but not one word of it made sense... and I don't understand what we are to be speculating. A lot of names have two origins. Consider the country of Georgia and the state of Georgia. Both names are derived from completely different sources, yet they are spelled and pronounced the same. Cool how that works... Anyways... so it's no surprise that there are two possible meanings for Katharine. Plus, the fact that there are several spellings could be the sign of a significant difference.
I'm all about choosing a name with a nice meaning, but just because a meaning doesn't suit you doesn't mean anything. I've known some Chastitys who were dreadfully misnamed. A moniker is a moniker, and that is that.
But anyways... I didn't mean to get involved. Sorry if my response is confusing at all or completely irrelevant to the topic, because I really am sick and I fear that I misinterpret a lot on days like these.
