1. What is your first & middle name? Catherine Ann

2. How did you get your name? Catherine & Ann are both old family names on my Mom's side. My Mom's name is Linda Catherine, my aunt's name is Cheryl Ann, & it just keeps going back.

3. What are your kids' names? How did you decide on them?
-- Eric Noah, Eric is obviously my husband's name, and I really liked Noah because of a character on All My Children (I don't watch soaps anymore), not to mention it's a really "RIGHTEOUS" name from the Bible. His name was going to be Noah Eric, when I was pregnant a friend from church asked what the baby's name would be and when I said Noah Eric, he responded "Yeah, I Know A Eric" ha,ha, could see that coming many more times so we rearranged his name.
-- Maggie Catherine, I always wanted to name a little girl after my Grandma who's name is Imelda, so I wanted Imelda Catherine, I would have called her Emma, Eric refused he said that with OUR last name that was just ridiculous. So my Grandma's grandma who raised her was named Maggie, I never got to meet her but I feel like I know her because of all the Grandma Maggie stories we hear. This was the next best way to honor my Grandma. As for Catherine see above.
-- Chloe' Ellen, I just really like the name Chloe' and Ellen is Eric's Mom's middle name as well as her Mom's. We used my family names with Mags and wanted to honor Eric's family as well.

4. Do you like your name? It's a name. I always wished my name were more romantic. I said if I had girls I would give them romantic names, like Juliett, Julia, or Sophia. Guess I forgot that when it was time to name them, Chloe' is kind of romantic though. Oh well they don't need romantic names, they're beautiful!

5. What was the most popular name (according to Social Security) the year you were born? I have dial-up and am not taking the time to look it up! Sorry. However, I think I've seen it before and I think it was Jennifer and Jason.

I choose - Melissa - you're tagged!

What great stories behind the kids names. I agree with Eric on Maggies initials, that would not have been a good thing!

Wow, I never thought about the initial thing, that would have been bad! Heehee!
