A name like Jane, but not Jane.

And by like Jane, I don't mean Jenna or Joan or Jake!

I mean that sort of name. A simple, old fashioned, pretty, girl's name.

Kate or Clara? Annie? Alice? I think that's the sort of name I mean, but I can't think of the right one.

Something beginning with C or K would work well.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I thought Kitty was short for Katherine, and Kit short for Christopher/ina names?

Daisy is short for Margaret because the Latin for daisy is Margurite (sp?)

We went for Ruth, despite not being at all "Biblical" people and there are definitely not many of those around.

Also short for Margaret are Maisie, Meg, Megan, Peggy, Rita, Gretal, Greta, Margie, Maggie, Margo, Margi, Madge, Margory, Pearl etc..
I think Elizabeth and Margaret and possibly Catherine give the largest number of options, maybe because they have all been so popular for so long.
