My Name By Brenda Vazquez

My parents decided to name me Brenda which means sword and its origin is Norse and my middle name is Catalina which means pure and its origin is Greek. My mom told me that they were going to name me Luisa Fernanda. Luisa comes from Luis which is my dad and Fernanda comes from Fernando which comes from my sister's godfather. I'm the youngest of my family and my parents wanted to honor my dad and my sister's godfather by naming me Luisa Fernanda, I only have one brother and he was named after my dad. I personally don't like my name because of the meaning and because it is a very common name i prefer people to call me Catalina but they don't get used to it and they call me Brenda or Cathy. Every time I'm in trouble i know because my mom always calls me "Catalina" and thats when i know i have to figure something out.

I liked that you answered all the questions that were given and were detailed. Do you think that because of your name, you are viewed diferently. Like people expect Brenda's to be a certain way and Maria's another way, you know stereotyping? Also, what name would you have prefered? Would you have prefered Luisa Fernanda to Brenda Catalina? - Cynthia Guerra
