These two names are possibly my overall all-time favorite girls' names. I know tons of Katherines, but only a couple who go by
Kathy. Most go by the whole thing or
Katie.
Kate is my preferred nickname. Actually I like
Kate more than
Katherine, but I have a thing about nicknames as full names.
Anna has just always seemed like the most beautiful, soft, melodic, ballerina dancer of a name to me. It wins over
Katherine for me, but they're both fantastic.
