"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

Les Miserables,
Volume 1, Fifth Book, Chapter 3

I used to hate my name. I didn't think it fit me at all, and still don't, except now I usually go by Kate instead of Katrina. I used to think about changing it when I turned eighteen or going by my middle name (Ellen) when I got to college, but I realized my mother would get upset, and it's really not that big of a deal.

Well bangla (the language I speak) IS traced back to sanskrit so you have some point there.
I'm really proud of my name.It's a very rare name in Bangladesh. A little less rare in India, I suppose. But it's really difficult to find someone by that name in Bangladesh. And even in India I'm guessing there arent many that share my name.
