[Opinions] Re: BA: Jimmy Kimmel's daughter's baby
Wow, Patti as a full name? Very rock n' roll. I immediately thought of Patti Smith and Joan Jett. A very cute, extremely retro combo. I suppose Katie felt no worries about giving her daughter a nickname-name, since she grew up with one and turned out all right! Patricia Joan is nice too, but Patti Joan definitely has a particular vibe to it.

According to Jimmy's Wikipedia page Katie is short for Katherine. But then again Wiki is unreliable so who knows.
Katie is short for Katharine according to People magazine.
