During the five minutes I spent browsing facebook posts between meetings, I found a link to USA Today’s very helpful Royal name generator.
I’m going to pause my thought here to briefly rif on the fact that I find it supremeley amusing that we democratic Americans, with our anti=aristocrat history, spend so much time fawning over a tiny baby because hew as born with a certain pedigree.
Pedigree may help Americans get a start in life, but education, hard work, and persistence is what makes us successful.
But, for whatever reason, we still find royal things amusing or interesting. I find the royal name generator amusing because honestly, I think I have the most boring name around and tend to look for more “exotic” sounding names than the ones likely to show up in such a generator, but, hey, call me “the Great” and I’ll make note of it….

So, I entered my initials and came up with this answer: Countess Sophia The Great.
Honestly, I was shocked. No mention of Catherine anywhere in there (Kate the Great was what I had hoped for).
OK, so I’m no Sophia. I’m Kate. Kate the Great. I’m very good at staying up late.
Cheers!
