Attica, shortened to Kitty?

[ChateauMargot]

Thoughts? (Please be gentle!)

The company that did our loft conversion was called Attica.

(They did a very good job, though, if that helps.)

I'm sure we had a similarly named loft company

I like Attica, reminds me of the darling Mr Atticus Finch

Not sure about the nn Kitty though.

Kitty is fine, Attica...not so much

Attica, Cattica, Kittica, Kitty.....is that how it goes?

I didn't know it was a name. But it shortens to Ticcy, not Kitty.

Husband likes Attica (there's an American writer with the same name) and we both like Kitty. Wanted a longer alternative on the birth certificate, and not fond of Katherine or Kathleen (which, if we're talking phonetics, actually bear less even resemblance to Kitty!)

Hm.

even less

I like it, but it's the first time I've heard of it. Love Atticus too! Kitty is very cute..

Not to my taste I'm afraid. Attics and cat's name - sorry.

No no no no no no no! If you like Kitty use Kitty.

I have a Kitty & she's exactly that.... KITTY!!

No No and thrice No. Anyone else hearing Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon chanting Attica Attica!
It's a maximum security prison housing serial killers love, stick with Kitty.

I like it.

I thouht I had heard it somewhere though, and I think it's the prison.^^

Google tells me it's an old part of Greece though.

I love Kitty too.

No - emphatically NO!

It's a bit contrived. Attica's OK, Kitty's OK, but I'm really not a fan of choosing one name and then actually calling them another.

We have a Kitty (she's 12 weeks old). I don't like Kathy, Katherine etc so just wanted a Kitty and discovered it's a name in its own right going back to the 16th Century. It was also my great aunt's name although it was short for something (can't remember what as she was known at Kitty).

Attica is shocking.

I'm with IslaValargeone "Attica Attica" [fist raised in solidarity] Just takes one 15 year old with an interest in 70s Al Pacino film and the name is sunk. Love Kitty, considered it for dd3.

Attica is a cool name. I also love Kitty.

Attica? Have you taken leave of your senses?

Attica is a boys name to me. How about kitty as a nickname for christine ( like kit for Christopher) or tabitha ( tabby cat) ?

No! Call her Catherine or Katherine, and then use Kate or Cate or Kitty for short. Not Attica.

why not just call her kitty?

Attica is pretentious, and a boys name, in any case.

Kitty is... ok.
