Kathleen Jennings: Hello. My name is Kathleen Jennings. My mother's family is Irish American, and my dad's is English and Scottish by way of Australia. So my first name is Irish. A lot of older people know it from the song "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen," and start singing it to me. When I was little, everyone called me Katie, but when I went away to boarding school, I had to fill out so many forms, it was easier just to use the name I had to keep writing down, Kathleen. My surname, Jennings, is English, but lots of people mishear it and call me Jenny.
