You’ve got some neat names there, Cat! Has your Mom ever elaborated on the extra ‘m’ in her name? (I don’t need to know, was just wondering). I’ve been pondering the charms of Margaret myself. And Geoffrey? Love Geoffrey! I mention my family names in little bits, I should think about doing something like this too.

My grandmother wanted her to be “unique” and also wanted it to look more like a full name, since it was just Kimm and not Kimberly. Kim looks weird to me now!

this is quite nice:
Dorothy Theresa Cecilia
I’m not generally a fan of the first two separately, but together this sounds very nice to me.
I can’t imagine a person with the name Countless. Was this an innovation or something else? (you gave no relation)

Oh! I meant that there are countless Williams in the family, you know, like a ton. Should have been clearer. 😳 I love DTC, too. It’s lovely with her surname, but I can’t go giving that out!
