modern short name for kathleen

[addictediam]

Ok so I'm in early premiture labour (I'm 31+5), I'm not allowed to do anything other than walk up the stairs to use the toilet, but that brings on contractions. So I'm bored and hopefully you can help and entertain me!

We've decided to call our dd Calliope (callie for short) for middle names we wanted to use our maternal grandmothers names and my middle name is my maternal grandmothers name. So we have Calliope Sarah Kathleen (then a 2 syliable surname) we think that it sounds really long and kathleen is alittle old fashioned? Kathleen being my middle name too.

So we want something linked to kathleen but 1 sylable and more 'modern'

We thought of Kate which we really both like, kath is too old fashioned.

Anyone have another suggestions?

(ds1 has our mothers names as her middle names so would really like to stick with the family connexion)

Sorry dd1 has our mums names

I would stick with Kate

Kit or Kitty? Kate is nice though.

We both like Kate so may go with that.

What do you think of kathleen? is it too long?

DP's Aunt was called Leena

Kathleen is a nice name, and no it's not too long.

kaitlin? my cousin is named after my grandma who is kathleen (capsie!)

Kathleen is my middle name after my grandma [hsmile]

Kleen?

Kitty, Kit, Kate, Katie, Kirsty, Kathy, Kait, Lenny, Leena, Catrina, Caitlin

Kathleen is my middle name after my grandma [hsmile]

Stick with Kathleen, you are worrying too much. :)

How often are you planning on her using all the names at once? How about if she marries and changes her surname to something short?

Stupid phone sorry.

Stupid phone sorry.

Kathleen is my mum and grand name and I love it now

I knew a Kathleen. She was known as Bunty. Hardly modern though. :)

Either use your grandmother's name or don't use it.
