A Twist on a Junior

[tennischick09.livejournal.com]

I'm not much for naming kids after their father getting either a junior, the third, or what have you.  Anyway, I really like my middle name of Catherine, so I thought instead of naming my daughter after me I would just name her Cate.  I know that she still wouldn't be a junior if I named her Catherine since it's just my middle name (plus I don't know if women really do that), but I really like the name Cate and I think it's kind of a fun twist on naming your kid after yourself.

I'm also not a fan of naming children after their parents. My Mom and my older sister are both Cathrine S. (last name) and it's really confusing when people call.

Your solution is a good one. There is a difference between naming your kid after yourself because you like the name and because you like yourself.
