I'm being honored again*! Sort of. My cousin and his wife are naming their soon-to-be daughter Cathleen after a) our grandmother Kathleen, b) me, Catalina, and c) her sister Kathryn. They are, however, stumped on a nickname, and they think Cathleen is a bit of a mouthful (I don't agree, but it's their baby). Grandma goes by Kathleen (except by the youngest kids, who call her Grandma Lala), Kathryn is Kathy, and I often go by Line (leen) or Lina. They like Catie, but are worried about people assuming it's Katie and short for Katherine or even a Kathleen with a K. Is Catie a good nickname? Or will it cause problems?

*By the way, little Skye Catalina (BA below) is doing well and is a very smiley, happy baby.
