Funny you talking about Kitty, I was thinking of this name this morning. My manager at work is called Kitty, she's only 30 and is a real high flyer. And then I heard someone on the radio called Kitty, I think she was an MP or something. So I don't understand the oh its not a birth certificate name thing, its never stopped these two because if it did they would have introduced themselves as Catherine.
