Kaleene, Kathleen


I sent an email with my address which includes my name KALEENE.  I signed it KALEENE.  And can you believe I got a reply addressed to Kathleen.  I have been called Kathleen so many times in my life, I just accept it at this point, but it does irritate me a bit.  My mom spelled my name Kaleene, instead of Kaylene,  with hopes that no one would nick name me KAY (my mom is not into nicknames).  But I would bet she never dreamed that people, lots of people would call me Kathleen.  Anyway,  I love my name despite the common confusion, in fact if it didn't feel so indulgent I would name my daughter Kaleene.  Thanks, Mom
