Yes, but if you're a big enough dork to be using "Smeg" (read: me), you've really got nothing on me.

I've for the most part always liked my given names. I did go through a period where I was "Catherine" and not "Cathy" but it was short lived except with a couple of family friends that I must have let them have it (at age 5 when this happened) because to this day he calls me Catherine.

And I really like my 'in trouble' name - Catherine Elizabeth. Though one thing that I found in the working world is that I use my name Catherine on any forms/etc - so people call me Catherine until I tell them otherwise - but I HATE when people write it out Cathy E. If it's a formal enough document/whatever to use my middle initial, then use my 'real' name! And so I often write Catherine E on stuff (especially when I add the P.E. at the end) so that people will see that I'm being formal and not necessarily that I prefe to be called Catherine.

You reminded me of a tradition that Susan's family has of using the middle name of Adena. I like it and if we had our own daughter her name would have been Rebecca Adena (there is a history on the first name as well, but I will hold that for another day).

Several generations of women in my mother's family were burdened with the name "Lavancha". Fortunately, my grandmother and mother both bucked the trend... Although, I did have an Aunt Gleytus and an Aunt Zelda...
