When i was little i always said i would call my daughter katy no idea why but i always wanted a daughter called katy for some reason. I am having dc5 now and already have 3 girls but have never called a baby katy becase it rhymes with my surname, my surname sounds alot like kirby so you get the idea it woud be katy kirby.
This will probably be my last dc and we recently found out will be our fourth daughter is there anyway that this is ok or even better a name wchih sounds better with our surname that cam be shortened to katy, i did think katherine but im not so sure about the full name katherine (fussy i know) and really dont liek kathy which i worry people would shorten it too.

Any ideas?

DD4's first part of her hyphonated name rhymes with her surname. Hasnt been a problem.

I know a Katy Kirby, doesn't seem to have done her any harm.

I think it sounds fine, I thought you were going to say something like Anna Spanner Grin

i LIKE katy kirby

that, or similar, would be fine

i would only not do it if it was something like Katy Batey or something that actually rhymes
