Kara: either a pet form of Katherine (not in my case) or a variant of Cara which means beloved in Italian or friend in Gaelic.

Very cool...thanks for the link

Re: What's behind YOUR name?

Doris Paulina Pulaski
Doris- A Dorian woman (i.e. from Spartan area of Greece), also the name of a Greek sea goddess
(it was my mother's name)
Paulina-name of a Roman family, meaning little bitty in Latin
(what a joke on me!) but it was my Grandma's name and she was little bitty
Pulaski - son of Paul (Polish) it's my husband's last name.

So as you can see, I have only used names, none of my own.
