Kitty?

[PrincessScrumpy]

I don't like the name Catherine particularly but DH and I both like Kitty - It was my great aunt's name and we were reminded of it yesterday at my grandmother's funeral, so emotions may be taking over.

We have dd Lydia, and are expecting ID twin girls. Our names were Heidi and Alice but now we're thinking about Heidi and Kitty. I've not met any children called Kitty so would like to judge reaction (please be gentle)

I prefer Alice to Kitty, which reminds me of a cat's name. I love Heidi. Heidi and Alice sounds perfect.

I don't get the need to offer alternatives. I have friends with names like Ian and Jane and they get by in life. I like the idea of dd having a name that won't be on lots of other pegs at nursery. I think we'll wait to see them and decide. Once will be Heidi Matilda and the other will either by Kitty Alice or Alice Kitty.

Maybe I'll wait until the house is empty and practice calling the names out.
