My hubby has been calling this one Kitty throughout the pg and i have fallen in love with it. I don't want to have that as her full name but i definitely want it as the nn..
I don't like catherine/katherine.

What else could be used to shorten to kitty?

Thanks!

Well, Catherine is the obvious one, and is lovely imo but you could maybe think about Christina? I say this a Kit can be used as a nn for Christoper.

Kathleen

My grandmother was always known as Kitty, but her actual name was Kate. I think that people will automatically assume that her name is Katherine or simply, Kitty itself!

I love it by the way. I have a Catherine, but she is just Katie/Kat as I wanted to leave the name Kitty as my Grandmother's.

I know a Kristin who is nn Kitty or Kit

Catherine, Cate, Katherine, Kate are the ones that are usually abbreviated to Kitty. Lots of other good options on here though.

Oooh, I like Katya and Katerina.
Thank you!

Caitlin. We know one.
Had DS been a girl she would have just been kitty.

The Kitty in Anna Karenina is Katerina. I love Kitty and would have used it by itself but none of my children have proper names iyswim.

If DC2 is a girl she will be Kathleen, shortened to Kitty.

PaulineCampbellJones · 20/09/2010 22:08

My sis is Catriona and gets Kitty as a nn
