I absolutely love it but vetoed by dh for being a cat's name. I think it is gorgeous.

I have a friend called kitty - no idea if its her real name or not, but its lovely :)

Thanks Pirate - while I have you, any ideas for middle name that goes with it?
Our surname is H two syllables

I think its nice, although I would have Katherine as full name.

I love it too. DH not keen tho' - the whole cat connection thing. I think it is very pretty.

FollowMe · 20/05/2011 10:46

I think it's a bit odd but only because I know a kitty-boo which seems quite chavvy plus when I was a kid we had someone called 'shitty kitty' on our street!
Like katherine though

MaresyTotes · 20/05/2011 10:46

Lovely

tummytickler · 20/05/2011 10:52

Not keen. Maybe as a nn for Katherine, but I definately do not like it on its own.

pirateparty · 20/05/2011 10:58

Oh let me think... If you're going to use it without it being a nn for Katherine etc then I think something short. What other things do you like?

CherryDrops · 20/05/2011 11:04

Seems to be popular on here at the moment but I'm really not a fan.

emmanumber3 · 20/05/2011 11:13

I love Kitty. In fact I used to have a much-loved cat called Kitty Blush. That wouldn't put me off using the name for a baby though, although DH would never go for it.

Middle name wise I like the sound of Kitty Rose personally, although Rose does get a lot of stick on MN for being "too popular" Grin.

pirateparty · 20/05/2011 11:15

Kitty Florence (not short at all!)
Kitty Rose
Kitty Elise
Kitty Mae?

I don't like it, sorry.

love it but as we already have a tabitha tabby it was sadly a no go

gleechie · 20/05/2011 14:27

I adore this, sadly dp doesn't :(
Great name though. One of my firm favourites

LetThereBeRock · 20/05/2011 14:53

It's dreadful.It makes me think of a burlesque dancer.

shelley72 · 20/05/2011 16:09

personally, i LOVE but be prepared for lots of comments / looks when you announce the name. if YOU like it and it seems to suit then sod everyone else Wink

spidookly · 20/05/2011 16:13

It's nice, but I prefer it as a short form for Katherine than a name on its own.

My Mum's godmother is Kitty, so I think of it more as old-lady chic than a cat's name.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 20/05/2011 16:15

Only if you want to be inundated forever with Hello Kitty stuff. It's a nice name though.

RottenRow · 20/05/2011 16:16

It's getting far too popular around here. Unless that doesn't bother you.

youngjoly · 20/05/2011 16:37

Love it, but then my DD is a Kitty (short for Katherine). Think it does need a full name, mind
