Katnip is better. Or Katlitta. Kat for short with both.

KatherineJaneway · 23/08/2019 23:16

Yes, plenty. All Hunger Games inspired.

o but it always makes me think of cat piss.

^^This

Solonelywastheballard · 23/08/2019 23:13

Is this a pias take

ConfCall · 23/08/2019 23:13

I’d go with the suggestion of Katherine, and call her Katniss as a pet name. Or Katrina, Katharina.

User10fuckingmillion · 23/08/2019 23:12

How was Katniss Everdeen a mass murderer? Pretty sure she only killed in self defence

I wouldn’t do it OP!

JellyfishAndShells · 23/08/2019 23:09

Sounds like a mangled version of Candice - or, indeed, catnip.

No.

SockMachine · 23/08/2019 23:07

It sounds horrible, it is fictional, you will look pathetic using it.

So it’s a no from me.

BackforGood · 23/08/2019 23:06

Just looks wrong - like the letters are in the wrong order.

Awful.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/08/2019 23:03

Great for a cute mischievous kitten.

WaitrosePigeon · 23/08/2019 22:59

Cat piss

DontCallMeShitley · 23/08/2019 22:59

Katpiss hmmm

EffYouSeeKaye · 23/08/2019 22:55

Fuck no.

ChangeItChild · 23/08/2019 22:55

Not for an actual child though Grin don't be daft

Good luck finding another name... may the odds be ever in your favour

Propertyofhood · 23/08/2019 22:52

When I read The Hunger Games I always thought I quite liked the name Katniss.

But it's too niche to give to an actual child.

Choclips · 23/08/2019 22:49

Stop it.

MarthaDunstable · 23/08/2019 22:42

It’s a form of potato.

LucieFurr · 23/08/2019 22:40

Sounds like catnip

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 23/08/2019 22:40

Call her Katherine and Kat for short. You can then call her “Little Miss Katniss” when she is teeny but stop and let her be Katherine / Kat /Kate when she goes to school....

crimsonlake · 23/08/2019 22:40

Just no.

Peanutbuttericecream · 23/08/2019 22:39

Hideous with bells on. 🤮

3LoudBoys · 23/08/2019 22:38

Catnip?

Northernsoullover · 23/08/2019 22:37

Isn't that the name of a Heavy Plant and machinery manufacturer?

madeyemoodysmum · 23/08/2019 22:36

I like it but save it for your next pet It would be cruel on a child
