Ironically more fitting than my legal name :p
Almost every person who was assigned the same legal name by their parents, I ended up hating their guts, but I've never met a Cathy I didn't like.
If there becomes an etymological precedent, such as someone actually accurately guessing WHY Cathy would serve greater utility as my name than my legally assigned-at-birth one, I'll introduce myself to people even outside this thread as Cathy, and furthermore explain why if they actually want to hear it.
As for this comment thread, hi y'all my name is Cathy. At least, to this person it is. I'll recognize when they call me Cathy, though.
