Congratulations! I voted Kateri Rose, not only because I liked those names, but because you just know that even though the name Faustina Hope is beautiful, they are going to go around calling her ‘Faus Hope’ and tease her.
Congratulations. Praying to Our Lady of Guadalupe for you to have an uncomplicated pregnancy & safe delivery of a healthy baby. Kateri Rose is so beautiful.
Thanks everybody for the congrats. It looks like Kateri has a big lead. We were thinking that although each name is not common the baby could have a normal nickname. Like Kate for Kateri or Tina for Faustina.
I have nothing really against Faustina, except that “fausty” is a particular word in my dialect of English, meaning “mouldy, musty, gone sour, having a bad smell”, so naming a child “Faustina” would be like naming her “Mouldette” or “Mildewia”.
Again, that’s just due to the language up here. YMMV. And no offense to St Faustina or anyone named Faustina.
