Help[Opinions] Re: Catherine
in reply to a message by Kelly R.
I don't understand the "going by the middle name" thing - it just makes no sense to me, why not just use the name they're going to be called in the first place i.e. Amelia Catherine or Fiona Catherine.
1. I love the name Kitty for Catherine. Or you could use an alternative verstion of Catherine like Caitlin, Caitriona, Katrin etc.
2. The main problem I can see with it is that at school, the register would say her name as Catherine Amelia and teachers would assume her first name is Catherine. The same problem would occur with official documents - driving license, tax documents etc. which would show her first name and it would be a faf if you had to phone up and change anything and they asked for your name she would have to say her name is Catherine even when her name is actually Amelia.
I know those problems aren't exactly life-altering, but they're a complication that I for one could live without. And since Amelia Catherine sounds fine the other way around, why not just go with that.
