My given name is Katharine.
If I had a choice I would have preferred to be called that.
My mom and dad called me Katie.
Now they and my boss are the only people allowed to call me that.

Clarissa or Jade...ALMOST got named Emma, but my father didn't like it, lol. I love the name Elizabeth...got it as my middle name, but I'd go by it in a heart beat if I could get people to call me that!!

I don't mind my name at all...but have NEVER gone by my given name (Jennifer) and I don't think it fits. I would be more likely to change my middle name (Rae) to go better with Jenny.

I have another name I go by when I'm trying to ignore the kiddos. It's when they are all on a kick hollering mom, mom,mom. One day I wanted a minutes peace so I told them I wasn't their mother I just looked like her and my name was Sarah. Well we went to the flea market last year and we were browsing at this one table and they all three started in MOM. I just kept looking and all three at once just chimed off "Sarah!" the guy working the booth thought that was the funniest thing, but even funnier when I told him Sarah wasn't really my name.
But if I could pick a new name.. I love the name Emma too, but then we would have too many Emma's on here. Wouldn't that get confusing. I had a great, great, great aunt named Ambrazillah. I think I'll go with that.

Frannie:
I had the best time today answering your fun questions. Thanks for all of them. I hope tomorrow there are new postings of new questions. It is suppose to rain all day, so I am looking forward to getting online to see the questions. I may come up with a few of my own.

I like my name...Diana Rose, after both of my grandmothers, but I always thought Olivia was a pretty name. My granddaughter is named Emma.

My name is Sandra but I've always been called "Sam" I think because my father wanted a boy and he never got one. Actually I would like the name Calamity Jane....or just Calamity as it seems more fitting but my grandson was named after me, Samuel and I wouldn't want to mess that up! That was the greatest honor I've ever been given! He just turned one so he doesn't realize it yet...I ho

| I am a kathleen. My best friend of 35 years is Katherine. At school I was "katie" and she was "kate", the confusing thing was that at my house I was "kate" and at her house she was "katie". So we just answered no matter which one they wanted. I have called her KATE THE GREAT since forever. I cant imagine a different name for myself. We are kinda like peas in a pod that way. |

I was almost named Jamie Lynn, and I always wished I had been named that, until the Spears' family came on the scene. Now I'm GLAD that I'm Stacy Lynn instead!
I like unusual, sort of romantic names... Sage, Tallulah, Sunday Rose (like Nicole Kidman's baby), and so on. Any of those would be fine... but I think I'd have to go with Sophie. For some reason I've always loved Sophie.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

*giggles* I was almost named Emma too! But my mum decided on Meg instead, which I'm glad about.
