I was named after a few things. I’m usually called Rori-Kate by my family (Kate is short for my middle name Kathleen) the Kate part comes from a really close friend of my mom’s, and Rori comes from two things. Rory is an Irish name meaning fire which was chosen because I was a premie and my parents wanted to give me a strong name. I am also named after Rory Gilmore from Gilmore girls.
