Help[Opinions] Re: Cat
in reply to a message by queenv
There's a journalist on BBC World television news called Katty Kay: her birth name was Katharine Kay but professionally and presumably also socially she's known as Katty. Which I find decidedly feline, but she carries it off pretty well.
Is it that much worse than Kitty? Perhaps a grown-up version? I like Kitty a lot as a nn for Katharine, and if I'd listened to DH and named a daughter Katharine (except it would have been Catherine if I'd really listened to him), I'd have done my best to have Kitty as her nn rather than Kate, Katie and the previously fashionable Kathy; not to mention Caitlin etc.
