I like Catherine and most forms of it, too, especially Catrin. Kit and Kitty are probably my favourite nns too - lol, if BtN was the real world, Kittys would probably be more popular than Katies! I also like plain, simple Cat, don't mind Katya / Katinka and even Cathy would sound fresher than Kate or Katie, which are just so overused.

As others have said, going by your middle name causes confusion in official situations. My sister has never used her first name and, as she has a very common last name, has often accidentally thrown out letters addressed to R. Lastname because she doesn't immediately think they're for her! So I'd give her the first name you're going to use.
