Just thinking of names - Kathleen is my middle name and my grandmothers name, I love it but I hate Cathy/Kathy. What do you all think? It's ok, be honest.

I think its a bit 'old ladyish' as alot of my grans generations had Kathleens, her sister, friend ect ... was called that.

But there are lots of variations of Kathleen which are a bit more modern but can still be in connection with your grandmother.

Lena is pretty if you want an abbreviation
