I like my name (Katherine), with my last name (but I am not all that fond of my last name), and don't even care about its popularity anymore (when I was younger I did, for awhile I was sick of always having multiple Katherine/Katie/Kate/Kat people in all my classes).
I do wish I felt it was more "me." When I was little I went by the nn Katie, in junior high I started using Kate, and by the end of HS I was Kat. I am still Kat, and I think it works the best for me, but I still don't feel a great connection to it. I like "Lux" (Loox) better, it's a name I started using as a counselor at a language camp and I still feel it fits me better. I worked there for 6 years so I got very used to it.
