What does Kitty say to you?

I think elegant, 1920s period drama, strong but feminine.

DH says Bunny a la Katie Price.

I am desperate to use it, but I've got some persuading to do. And he's made me wonder if I've got it completely wrong... Have I? What does it make you think?

Beautiful name. A smiley girl with bouncy hair.

A cutesy name used by a cat-lover with little imagination.

JenOL85 · 31/05/2015 15:43

Stripper.

Very nice.

SnozzberryPie · 27/05/2015 11:26

I like it as a nickname, i prefer Kathleen to Catherine as the full name.

expatinscotland · 27/05/2015 11:07

Kathleen, Katherine, Katriona.

This is like the female version of people wanting to name their son Kit.

goodnessgraciousgouda · 27/05/2015 11:04

I picture either a stripper, or Hello Kitty merchandise.

It's very much nickname territory.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 26/05/2015 21:37

I picture a little girl with blond curly shoulder length hair big blue eyes rosy cheeks pale skin and a big beaming smile.
Personality. Sweet and girly as child but also with a mischevious side.
Always laughing, very creative, loves baking cakes ect.

CrystalMcPistol · 26/05/2015 20:59

No. You're thinking of cock mad Lydia.

mrstweefromtweesville · 26/05/2015 20:54

'Hello Kitty'.
A kitten.
Didn't Jane Austen write about a silly Kitty who ran off with unsuitable 'officers' and thereafter led a miserable life?
Shared pot of money. Put £10 in the kitty.

ValancyJane · 26/05/2015 20:51

I know a couple of girls named Kitty and all are lovely; it just makes me think of Pride & Prejudice! I like it :)

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/05/2015 20:48

Love it. One of my favourite girls names.

BikeRunSki · 26/05/2015 20:46

It says

Try a bit too hard North London Bugaboo and Boden ish
1920s/Belle Epoque/Ernest Hemmingway
Must surely be short for Catherine (or a derivative of) port child will be an adult one day....

ButterflyOfFreedom · 26/05/2015 20:42

Cat.

Really don't like it, sorry.

Spydra · 26/05/2015 15:48

Katherine with a shortened version Kitty

reuset · 26/05/2015 15:33

Cissy or Cecy might be nice vaguely similar alternatives to consider if they're to your taste. Short for Cecilia or Cecily though

OpheliaBitz · 26/05/2015 15:30

I think it's sweet for a little girl, but would probably make it a nn rather than have Kitty on the bc, so that she has the option to change to Kate/Kathy/Catherine/Kathleen/whatever when she's older if she wants.

It's not a name that translates well to adulthood IMO.

reuset · 26/05/2015 15:26

Thanks Google!

Have obviously been living under blanket, I didn't know that was Cliff's pseudonym. Though I have heard something of elm guest house I'm sure

reuset · 26/05/2015 15:22

What's that about Cliff Richard? Sounds rather sinister

SylvaniansAtEase · 26/05/2015 14:52

The more I see it written down the more I like it!

Kitty, but please short for Catherine - I know it's C not K, but the full name sounds so much lovelier with a C.

However if I had a Catherine, it would be Cate for short.

Rox19 · 26/05/2015 14:43

Cliff Richard at elm guest house I'm afraid

reuset · 26/05/2015 14:35

I think you have it right, kipper. 1920s elegance

Though I like it best for Katherine or Kathleen

SillyStuffBiting · 26/05/2015 12:30

I must live under a blanket.
