In this instance, since there was not one name always used for your daughter, I would enter her as Kathryn Andrea Martell - no quotes anywhere. Then, either in General Notes, or in AKA (depending on your personal preference) I would list Kathy, Kate and Kath. The reason for using quotation marks around a 'generally known by' name is so that reports read freely - e.g. My name is Janet, but I am RARELY called that, so it sounds 'wrong' for reports to read - Janet did this, Janet did that - much more natural to read Jan did this, Jan did that. However, my correct, full name is still recorded for all to see.

Her full name is Kathryn Andrea Martell. Some people call her Kathryn, some call her Kathy, some call her Kate, and I usually call her Kath. She responds to all of them apparently not even noticing which one is being used. I haven't tested it but I am assuming that putting in more than one quoted name would simply confuse Legacy and lead to confused and erratic results. ________________________________ Wayne Martell Victoria, BC, Canada -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
