What's my name again?

My name is Kathryn Maria.

I was named after Katherine Hepburn. Not the person herself, but the roles she played as an actress. My mother told me that she knew I would need to be strong, and Katherine Hepburn always played strong roles. I was named Maria, after the mother of Jesus. Maria is the Spanish name for Mary.

All my life my family has called me Katie. I was only called Kathryn when I was in trouble or for official reasons, etc.

My mother's nickname for me is Kateums. Which I love! Only my mother can call me that. It's special. One time a boy called me that and I kicked him. Well, I was in kindergarten and It's one of those, "Only my mama can call me that" sort of things.

Anyway, back to the Original story...
My "brilliant" idea was to go by Kathryn when I went off to college. I love the name Kathryn, I love that my mother named me for the reasons that she did, and I love that she liked my name with a "K" and a "y" instead of a "C" or a "erine".

Anyway, I went off to college with my brand new identity. I had wild ideas that I would become this new found person, because of my awesome name. I wanted to live up to my name.
Apparently people think that if you have a formal name you must be in want of a nick name. So while in college people continued to shorten my name. Kate, Kat, Katie (rarely was I called this), thrin, etc.
But I kept true to my heart and corrected them, that my name was indeed Kathryn.
Well, to make a long story short. When I met Preston he knew me as Kathryn. I failed to realize that when he met my family he would be the only one calling me Kathryn.
He was confused and I was confused, and funny enough so was my Brother-in-law Chris. Chris started to call me Pete. Which then turned into Peteums.

Preston decided to call me Katie. He likes the name Katie and wanted to call me the same thing as my family does.
Preston's family still calls me Kathryn and now their confused (this story could go on forever :)

When I moved out of my old Married Student Ward. I decided to introduce myself as Katie. So I did.

Then for some odd reason people started calling me Kate. Why, I really don't know. I would tell them that my name was Kathryn and that they could call me Katie. For some reason they weren't satisfied with this, because Kate just seemed to stick.
They even started introducing me to other people as Kate. I've started to receive invitations with Kate as my name.

Now I'm confused! I don't know what my name is. It's sad when you reach this point. Shouldn't I be like 80 and not know my name. That's normal.
Anyway, now my whole ward calls me Kate, and I really don't know what to do. I think it would be easier to either...move or pick a different name entirely.

Do I look like a Darby to you?
