my name was almost.....

so what were some names that your mother almost named you? if i were a boy, i'd have been called beau david and other girl names that mom wanted were rebecca colleen (becca) and betsy jeanne. she settled on traci jeanne because on the way to the hospital, my dad was singing a song called "traces of love" to calm her down. i think that him not letting her call me betsy is about the best thing he ever did for me!

Do people nickname you "Katie" a lot? I'm curious because Kate is my absolute favourite name. I love just plain Kate, but I always worry about people making it into Katie.

My mom made it clear from the beginning that I was Kate, never Katie. Every now and then someone screws it up (even after I've clearly introduced myself as Kate)...but it's usually a cute old lady or something that does it, so I let it slide. But, no...it doesn't happen too often.

Although, my husband's grandmother STILL insists on calling me "Kay" even though she's corrected by me or someone else nearly every single time she does it. We've been together for almost 6 years though, so I've learned to let it slide. ;)
