I was named after my great-great-great grandparents, Evajane and Jerome P. Cady. Jerome fought for the Union in the Civil War, and I love having a name tied to such exciting family history. I have gone through countless botched attempts at my name, including Caddie, Candy, Katie, and Cody. However, I don’t mind because it sets me apart just a little. Whenever someone messes up my name, I tell them that it rhymes with Lady. A lot of people also tell me that that they like the spelling of my name, which also makes me feel special. I do appreciate having a name that’s pronounced normally though, because in casual conversation I don’t have to go though the explanation of spelling it. I love being a Cady!

In the driver’s seat, it’s a life sentence of “My name is Cady. Let me spell it.”

Still, parents seem to crave ordinary names with a twist – so better one with history than yet another creative respelling of M’Kaelah – groan!

I wouldn’t use it for a first name because of the dearth of Katies in my generation. Despite having a very respectable namesake, it still sounds a bit too cutesy for me. I love the idea, though, and it would be a nifty middle name.
