Comments and insights on the name Karina: | Edit

My sister's name. She's the only one in school with that name. She is a fun, creative, and loving person.

I met someone I worked with this name, but spelt differently. Such a fack, and kisser-upper. She told me one time that she'd look after something while I went off with the boss, and when I came back I was blamed because she took out some stuff from the oven too earily so it was thrown out. I ended up getting fired that same day.

Fun fact: spelled backwards it's Anirak (which is almost like Anorak...)
