Having a last minute wobble about name for DD due later this month.

Thought we'd settled on Alexandra (did like Lexie as nn but have been educated against it by MN, so not so sure now!) but now considering Katharine with nn. Kitty? Or perhaps Kate?

Any thoughts?

My ds's name has been described as 'awful', 'terrible', even 'gay' on here by some posters, but in real life we get nothing but compliments and love his name Smile.

Don't let yourself be influenced too much by a random collection of internet users, you don't even know their tastes... You might hate their childrens' names...!

You're right Ramona..! Paying far too much credence to opinion on here.

It won't be Queen Katherine as she spells it Catherine.

"have been educated against it by MN"

Educated against Lexie by a random collection of internet users... Hmm...

Love Kitty. And I like the idea of a more formal name for use on documents and when she's older, but would use KathErine instead of KathArine.

(I also liked Alexandra/Lexie, but have been put off by the comments on Mumsnet too!)

what's wrong with Lexie?

educated against it by MN? It's hardly the pulse of the nation here is it

Not keen on Kitty, I'm afraid. Katharine is ok but might get very popular with Queen Katherine.

Katharine a good name.

Although even better spelled another way Wink
