Rebecca Foster named her daughter Katrina. Not after anyone, not inspired by anything, just simply because she "Liked it." Katrina remembers hearing stories about her grandma wanting the name Katharine but Rebecca didn't want her daughter to be nicknamed Kathy. The idea went down like when a fly gets hit by an electric fly swatter. There aren't any back-stories to Katrina that are known to her family but the name soon became famous in 2005. The costly natural disaster to happen to the United States...Hurricane Katrina will forever haunt all Katrina’s. When Hurricane Katrina was discussed in class, every pair of eyes would shift and peek at Katrina just because her name was mentioned across the news, worldwide. She always seemed to scoot lower in her seat with every glace she saw. She never failed to think, "Turn around morons, you're making this awkward."

Foster.
Katrina is often referred to by her last name, more times than other "baby" is attached. She never hated nor loved being called "Baby Foster" She heard it enough from her co-workers, older brother's friends, coaches, and teammates, to brush it off.

If Katrina was given the opportunity to change her name she wouldn't. She can't even imagine what she would change it to. It isn't a hard name to spell or say, therefore if someone messes it up, it's clear they don't know enough about the world.
I would add in a paragraph change in between, the idea of the nickname and the the back-story. The ideas are two different things. Also tabbing in when its the Google and Urban Dictionary, that would add more of an effect. Simple formatting ideas that's all. (: Also in the last paragraph saying "If Katrina Foster..." and then explain why. You can add more details.
