All the Cats I know are Catrins. I live in Wales and it’s fairly popular. Very pretty name, and all the Catrins I know are
lovely 😊

Cat is such a frumpy middle aged name

Its says ex public school girl now in mid 50s but trying to pretend they are 25.

You mean you once met someone of this description and you didn't like them?

It's nowhere near popular enough to have any reputation.

It's going to be some variation of Catherine OP - Catia, Catja (Katya), Carin, Carina.. are some not mentioned above. Have a google, there are many forms of it.

I know a Christina says her name is too old for her (under 30) so she's Cat.
