I had to do a little research for this post. I have probably read it in the past, but the meaning of my full name, Kathryn Marie, is:
Kathryn: Pure. This was the meaning in every language listed. I know Mom and Dad were looking for a "K" name if I was a girl since our family at the time was Kimberly (woodland clearing of the royal fortress), Richard (powerful leader), and Rodney (fame). I would have been Randy if I was a boy.
The meaning of my middle name is a little bit different:
Marie: Wished-for child; rebellion; bitter. Mom wrote in my baby book, "Kathy is the fulfillment of our fondest dreams, a family of two girls and two boys." The first definition fits, but hopefully the other two never do. I'm choosing wish-for child over "pure rebellion."
As far as my name suiting me, after 53 years I can't imagine having any other name.
