What is the general consensus on this name mumsnetters? Baby born last week and DH and I still haven't agreed on a name! We both like this but are a bit worried about cat jokes, etc!

My DD has a friend called Kitty, but she can't say 'K' yet (she's only 20 months) so she calls her Titty

But other than that I think it's a lovely name.

It's a very cute name for a little girl, but it's a bit naff for an adult imo.

I'd go for Catherine or if that's a bit dull Katerina and give Kitty as nn. Then she'll have some options when she's older if she's not kookie enough to be an adult Kitty.

Lesbian on Big Brother the other year. Or a cat. Not good.

I love it, considered it myself. DP wouldn't agree to it for DD because he thinks it sounds silly. If you both like it, go for it.

BTW nobody has ever made a cat joke to us.
Although sometimes DH calls her 'Kitty-Kat as a pet name'. But that's not a bad thing IMO.

Short for Catherine. I like it.

MrsMerryHenry · 04/03/2009 17:35

I think it's awful. Sounds like a 'toy' name.

frazzledoldbag · 04/03/2009 17:34

I have one. She is fabulous and beautiful, and everyone loves her name. Plus (round here anyway) we've never met another one.
(There are 5 Katies in her year at school but no Kitty's). She is 8 now and it's still one of my very fave names. Love it. Congrats on your little girl by the way.

Gorgeous name. Love it

flooziesusie · 04/03/2009 17:09

I love it actually... an oldie, but a goodie! (grin)
