A Name Survrey

Do you like or hate your name and why?

Edit: My name is Adriana. When I was younger I wanted a middle name because my older sisters have one but now I come to think, what is there a good middle name for Adriana. I really didn't have an opinion about it till recently. I think it's a nice name only if I didn't know 5 other Adrianas already. But I think it's pretty neat name because it is ethnically ambigious name and no has mispronounced it even though some people say it differently. And it doesn't hurt that 2 of the hottest supermodels have it. (Adriana Lima and Adriana Sklenarikova/Karembeu)

I love my name, Katharine-Paige. I don't think I actually went to school with a Kate or Katie until I was in junior high. Plus, my mama means for everyone to call me by both names, so no confusion. my name has about 20 different common spellings, so no matter what, I have to spell it, and I love that I have the most unique spelling. I think that A is extra pretty in the middle. And Katharine Hepburn is just awesome (where mom got spelling). When I was about 15, my dad got into researching our geneology, and was given a ~200 year old family Bible from my grandmother. There was a family that had a daughter named Katharine, who in turn had her own daughter named Katharine (both families also had Andrews, which is my brother's 1st name). It's so neat that my mom accidentally picked the same spelling as our ancestors. I love it so much, I want to name my own daughter Katharine. and a son Andrew. but I married an Andrew, and that is the only boy name we like, so I chucking the Katharine Jr. dream. Andrew jr and katharine jr? just weird.

That is a cool coincidence :)
My brother is Richard, and years later we found out that was our great great grandfather's name. Our Grandad had known the whole time but never said, guess he thought we knew.

Guess you can use Katharine as a middle name, would be lovely to carry the tradition on.
