My full name is Katherine Elizabeth Fallon. My mom says my name was inspired by the actress Katharine Hepburn, but "Katherine" was also the spelling of someone in our family, so she went with that one. They both were strong women, and I feel proud to share their name. My name means "purity".

My name is pronounced CATH-er-rin. Ask me later how I found out I was pronouncing it wrong myself until I was in high school!

I go by Kate. I like my name, it's classic and it's one that feels right for a person of any age. Having a nickname sometimes can be confusing because I feel like I frequently get called the wrong thing. There also are so many ways to spell Katherine that that can be difficult for people, too!

My full name is Serena Rose Tanna. My name was actually supposed to be Sonia, but a couple weeks before I was born, my parents took a trip to Hawaii. My mom thought the beach and the water was very serene, so she decided to name me Serena. My dad picked out my middle name, Rose. It's fairly common, but it's pretty and I like it. And my little sister ended up being named Sonia.

My name is pronounced SUH-REE-NUH haha. Everyone pretty much pronounces it correctly, and the first time they meet me usually say "like Serena Williams?" I don't mind though, because I actually did play tennis up until a couple years ago.

Overall, I like my name because it's not that common, but people generally don't have trouble with it. And I like it better than Sonia, so thanks Hawaii!
