Btw, Sophronia my great great aunt was called Kitty too. She was a BALLER.

lellyli · 25/04/2017 21:52

not keen on kitty sorry. violet is nice, makes me think of charlie and the chocolate factory though

Haffdonga · 25/04/2017 21:54

Kitty is a strong feisty and witty female.

Violet has (for me) connotations of Shrinking, Violence and Toilet.

Lemondrop09 · 25/04/2017 21:57

If you do call her Kitty, you absolutely must get the books by Bel Mooney and read them to her. I loved this books as a kid, and Kitty is a great feisty little girl Smile

I like both but I agree that Kitty should be short for something. Maybe she could be Violet Katherine with Kitty for short?

Sophia1984 · 25/04/2017 22:01

I know a Kitty in her late 20s and it really suits her.

Loyly · 25/04/2017 22:02

Kitty

woodywoody · 25/04/2017 22:11

Not sure on middle name but one syllable middle name would sound better due to last name being LONG!

I love Kitty as a nickname. But not for the bc...

Katherine, Kate, Katerina, Katarina, Catrin... I prefer all of these to Kitty for the bc.

Love the suggestion of using Violet as a middle name.

FizzyGreenWater · 26/04/2017 10:50

Katherine Violet or Katrina/Catriona Violet known as Kitty.

All good and it's just nice to have options.

BasicBetty · 26/04/2017 13:19

I like both, sorry!
If pushed, I'd go with Violet.

pipilangstrumpf · 26/04/2017 14:01

Kit or Kitty sound so cutesy and childish imo.

Violet is a proper name and much more elegant

CPtart · 26/04/2017 14:21

Don't like either. But love Katherine.

woodywoody · 26/04/2017 14:43

I'm really not keen on any of the longer names such as Katherine. I'm really liking just Kitty at the moment... Any more middle name recommendations would be good, as i said one syllable would probably be better with last name :)

woodywoody · 26/04/2017 23:20

so i was thinking, what about just Kit on the BC and then Kitty as a nickname? thoughts on this? I know Kit is a boys name but it is a girls name too!

My mums cat is called kitty!

Rockaby · 27/04/2017 09:03

Love the idea of Kit on the BC! I think it's a lot cooler.

I don't see why it's a boys' name anyway. It's a nn originally, so not traditionally speaking a boy or girl name. I don't think. I mean Chris and Jackie could be either couldn't they? Don't mention Bill or Bob Grin.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 27/04/2017 09:07

Both names are lovely. If you go for Kitty how about Kitty Faith unless your surname starts with C.

Reow · 27/04/2017 09:09

Both lovely

Abetes · 27/04/2017 09:18

Love Violet - such a cool name. Was a possibility for my dd but when she arrived she was a big sturdy baby and just didn't really look like a Violet so we went for something else. Now she is a petite teenager and would have suited the name so I wish I had stuck to my guns.

Love Kitty for a baby, toddler and small child but not for a teenager or woman - so would go with Katherine. I personally don't like Kit for the bc at all.

woodywoody · 27/04/2017 09:49

being as indecisive as i am, i am now starting to like Violet moreConfused Kitty Faith is very nice though. Think i will just have to wait and see which one i choose. Smile
