US is great place to be as you get to choose a middle name in addition to the first name. So it feels very natural to peak and use a middle girl name too. My first impulse for a first name was a feminine version of my real name. At least I will pay attention when I hear it my thought was. However, somehow it felt strange. I went with a name my mom once said would be mine had I born a girl. I like it more and here I am Katya, and I don't mind to use the other as my middle.
