My husband had a grandmother named Hettie. We were expecting our first child, a girl and wanted to name her after a great-grandmother. Our choices were Hettie, Gunda, Olga and Katherina. We chose Kathrina.

Fredrico, It was about power especially over her children.

Deborah , when I was born, the choice is for family names included. Velma, Ora, Cleo, Davida, or Patty. My dad wanted to name me Priscilla. Thankfully, my mother put her foot down and named me Patricia. When people try to call me, Patty l refused to answer to it even when I was a little kid. It just made me think of a cow patty.
