Kitty

[d1157230986361b000875]

Not short for anything just Kitty.

What are your opinions, not sure if this name is a contender but it's one that is on our long list.

I think Kitty is a pretty nickname for a child but far too cutesy as a standalone name for a grown woman.

One of my favourite names. I'd prefer it short for Katherine, but could live with it being a stand alone name

A lifetime of 'helllllooo, Kitty!'.
Also a bit too close to Katie Prices 'Bunny'.

I love Kitty! I also like Bunny though, as mentioned by the PP, lol

It's one of those names that I do like a lot but I'm not entirely sure it works for every age and stage of life. Personally I'd chose Katherine and shorten it to Kitty.

Absolutely not. It's fine as a diminutive, but please give her a proper grown-up name like Katherine, Katrina, Christina etc

My name is all grown up, very long, and awfuly respectable, and I bloody hated it as a kid.

I was normally known as a diminutive of it and I would, now as a proper grown up, have killed my parents if they'd christened me it.

Don't do it!

Only if you expect her to stay small, cute and demure all of her life.

I like it but I would give a longer name and use it as an bb as others have said. Plenty don't though. Giles Coren's daughter's called Kitty.

No
Not as a name, not as a nickname
Just no

I like it

We know a Kitty. She is anything but demure

I think it's a gorgeous name.

I like it, but it would give her flexibility to have a longer bc name; Katherine, Catriona, Katya, Christina, Caitlin are all good.

It was my great gran's name, I like it a lot.

I do not usually like 'cutsie' names but in this case I think Kitty is actually quite a solid name, with some heritage in it's own right.

Lovely and sweet. I'd be tempted to use Katherine or similar as her 'official' name, but always use Kitty, but that's just me.

My friend was called Emmy by everyone all her life, but her official name was Emily, and she found that very annoying when she often had to explain that it wasn't her name really, it happened quite often at school, so maybe it's better to embrace Kitty as the whole name?

Yes! We're going for Kitty. Love it.

I like it. I don't think its too cutsie but I know a very abrasive lady in her late 50s called Kitty so I would associate the name with her...

Our son started Reception with a Kitty. She was lovely. Her parents were very interesting people to know, and the mother took no shit whatsoever.

Names are what the person makes of them. Go for it.

I had a great aunt Kitty who ran her own pub till she was nearly 100. To say she was formidable would be to put it mildly.

Nothing cutesy about her!

Its like 'Dolly' though isn't it? Old fashioned, probably a pet name, and everyone has a great aunt Dolly, Kitty, Mimi, Dotty...

I taught one. Age 13, she was tall, muscular, loved rugby and swimming. Absolutely hated her name and insisted on Kit. I would go with Catherine on the bc. Kitty is lovely for a toddler.

Agree - go with Katherine nn Kitty, even if you (her parents) never call her Katherine, it gives her options when she's older if she prefers something more "mature".

I love love love it, and trying to persuade dh. Would probably be Katherine though, so has alternatives available as an adult.
