What’s in a name?

It’s the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

 

A Google search comes up with lots and lots of headlines with my name in it. Here are some of the more humorous recent headlines:

“In the Thick of Katrina”

“Even Katrina Has a Silver Lining”

“Moving ‘Beyond Katrina’ Through Poetry and Prose”

“Katrina Changes One Life for the Better”

“Brad Pitt Talks Katrina Five Years Later”

“President Obama to Commemorate Katrina”

“Many fled Katrina, and many never found their way back”

Here is a fun chart from a baby naming website. You can see the popularity of my name highest in the mid 1980’s and then the great crash in 2005. It’s a pity too, because I really like my name.
