I just can't get excited about the name that "we" have chosen for our baby. Catherine (pronounced Catrine as DH is French native language).
It's the only name that DH suggested that was acceptable, but I'm not a great fan. Which is stupid as it fits my criteria of being Greek roots and multi-lingual. Except that all of my family will pronounce it wrong... I think my main dislike is that I know so many, it's the most common name in my year group so I went to school/uni with loads and find it, well, boring. DH always refers to bump by name now, so it's a bit late to change it. He's also adamant that we have to have the French spelling and pronunciation.
I'm trying to come up with nicknames that I can use, but I know so many people called Kate, Katie, Kat, Cat, Kitty that I can't imagine using any of them for a baby.
Please tell me a nice thing about this name and any other suggestions for nicknames?
(I'm also well aware people are going to say we've given the name because I'm British and constantly ask if it's because of the Royal family)
