We have a Theodore, who goes by Teddy.

We like Katherine, with the NN Katie.

Does it 'go'?

General opinions on Katherine? Smile

I have a sister called Katherine. She calls herself Kate or Katie. I think Katie is probably a bit dated for an adult now, but she - as she says - missed the boat to change herself to a cool "Cat" or similar at university ;).

What I don't like about the name is the need to spell it out constantly as there are so many variations- Catherine, Catharine, Kathryn, Katharine, Katherine....

We like Kit/Kitty, but think it's probably too much with Ted/Teddy Grin

I like Katherine but prefer the nn Kitty/Kit or Kate. For some reason, Katie feels dated to me.

Yes, it goes. I love the two names together, and Katherine in general.
