[Opinions] Re: Katherine
in reply to a message by Perrine
I love it!
It's the name of a person who was very important to me. She was almost like my grandmother, and she helped me out with the kids a lot while I was going through a rough time. (She helped with a bunch of things besides my kids during that time, actually.) Sadly, Aunt Kathy passed away a few years ago, after a battle with Cancer.
My daughter is named Katherine Alexandria, after my "aunt" Kathy, and my great-aunt Alexandria.
(My daughter goes by Kate occasionally. She prefers Katherine, though. Her dad calls her Kat and Kitty, because she loves cats.)
Without the personal associations, I still love the name. It's a classic and elegant name, and it has several nicknames, which is nice, if a nickname is needed.
