So my name is Kateri (Ka-tear-ee) and from the dawning of time, August 29, 1989 (the day of my birth) the name Kateri was picked out for yours truly. Its beautiful I know, you don't need to tell me its my effin name. But it is hell being named Kateri. My name has been butchered as if it were a song sung by an American Idol contestant. Canary, Catorac, Kay-tree, Ka-tar-ee, Kat-err-eye are just a few of the ways my name has been butchered. Even my grandpa sometimes doesn't say it right.
Ok so I sound like a whiny brat. Oh poor little girl with the weird name that no one can say. But it honestly sucks introducing yourself and the response is always "HUH?" or "K what?" "Say that again" "How do you spell that?" Also try sitting in class as the professor calls out names to hand out tests. My last name begins with a B so I should get my test toward the first. BUT I NEVER DO! You know why? The teacher can never pronounce my first name and usually can't get the last name either. I listen for my name the professor yells out some name with a K. Is it me? No that's to far from Kateri to be me. Katie that has to be someone else. Damn it! He went through all the B names. So I have to wait till the end of class to get my test when I should have gotten it first.
However I'm a glass is half full girl. THANK YOU MOM that my name isn't Britney, Jessica, or Ashley. No offense to the millions of girls with those names but like I said there are millions of you. I bet you don't know very many girls named Kateri. Also, Kateri is from an almost catholic saint. She's one miracle away from the Big Time. Yeah look it up, its legit.
Isn't she all cute and holy looking :)
Now you are probably thinking Kateri is such a pretty name! I think I'm gonna name my little girl that name someday. BEEZY! don't even think about it. First, its lame to get your child's name off of a silly girl,s blog and second we can't have a whole bunch of Kateri's running around then it looses its Unique Powers.
YAY! RANDOM STORY TIME.
Ok so in high school there was another girl in an near by town with the name Kateri she pronounced it Ka-t-AIR-EE totally different than Ka-tear-ee but whatever. Anyways she died in a tragic drunk driving accident (sad, I KNOW) but everyone thought it was ME! So we had all kinds of people calling my house, school, and creepily people kept calling my phone. I mean who calls a dead person. Seriously. Its like "I have some sad news, Kateri died" "OH MY GOD, I better call her cell phone right NOW!" but as weird as it sounds people did, and of course I was alive so I answered. Talk about relief on the other line from the weirdos that call dead people. Point of the RANDOM STORY TIME, the name Kateri has Unique Powers.
So please say my name right because its awesome
KA-TEAR-EE
As your mom that named you this name, it is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. With a heritage of fevor for God. I have always said it right!
