Apart from Catherine? Hopeful..

I love Cathy, but MIL is Katherine, so that's out of the question as a first name.

Kathy/Cathy can also be short for Kathleen.

Katrin, Katrina/Catrina, Catriona, Kathryn...

Caitlin

Why not use Cathy as a name rather than trying to search for a name to shorten?

Kathleen?

Kathleen. If it helps at all I think the? Greek original version is Ekaterina (someone feel free to correct me if that's wrong!).

Sorry, hit post too soon - we have lots of girls of this name in my extended family, both my grandmothers were Kathleens, so we have Kathleen, Catherine, Katherine, Kathryn, Kathy, Kath, Cathy, Cath, Katie, Katy, Kay and Caitlin.

I have over 60 cousins BTW, some of the girls did get other names too!

Don't start me on the Richards....
