Estelle would be preferred to Stella (I always think of the larger) angle kitty only if a Nn for a full name like Katherine, Katya or Katie.

There was a fashion when my children were born to register children as diminutives rather than full names (think "Lizzy" rather than Elizabeth). I'm struck by how many have changed their usage to either a different diminutive or used middle names instead. Fashions can change very quickly.

I would register the full name for a first name and simply use the diminutive. Possibly for a middle name it wouldn't matter so much.

Isn't Kit a male diminutive? Kitty reminds me of cats and kitchen maids.

Kitty

We have used Kitty as a second name. My 5 year old loves her name. Why not call her Stella kitty and enjoy both.

Thanks everyone. I agree Kitty is a bit "cute" thats why i was just thinking Kit. If not, Stella.

Stella. Such a beautiful name

Kit is better than Kitty. But Stella is an elegant beautiful name.

Kit or kitty definitely, that was my grandmother's name, short for Catherine. I would have liked to use it for dd but it didn't go with our surname.
