Kitty is on our shortlist.
Only, though I love Kitty, I'm not sure if it is more of a nickname than a 'proper' name.
What do you think?
Neither of us LOVE Katherine which I guess is the obvious long version. Anything else that Kitty can be short for?

I think Kitty is a lovely name and wouldn't think it needs to be short for something...

hmm, Caitlin, Catalina, Kathleen & Katrina I all like, but not really really like.

Our other top choice is Cecily and (encouraged by the other thread that's going at the moment) I'm being tempted back to that.
I know Kitty is being used as a name in its own right, but I think I agree with hanaflower & castille that it would be a nickname, not the full name she could use when she wanted to....
.. and without a full name that I love, I think we might have to leave it

It's pretty but a bit little girly, I thin you need a grown-up name too.

I like Caitlin.

Absolutely love Kitty. Really pretty name.

I think the Spanish version is pretty: Catalina. Could be shortened to Kitty or Lina.

Kitty is very nice.

Kitty can be short for Caitlin or Kathleen, at least it can in my family!

Kitty is nice on it's own, I think it's become a name in it's own right.
