Kitty

[babyalready]

What is the general consensus on this name mumsnetters? Baby born last week and DH and I still haven't agreed on a name! We both like this but are a bit worried about cat jokes, etc!

reminds me of the sullivans

I love it actually... an oldie, but a goodie! (grin)

Gorgeous name. Love it

I have one. She is fabulous and beautiful, and everyone loves her name. Plus (round here anyway) we've never met another one.
(There are 5 Katies in her year at school but no Kitty's). She is 8 now and it's still one of my very fave names. Love it. Congrats on your little girl by the way.

I think it's awful. Sounds like a 'toy' name.

Short for Catherine. I like it.

BTW nobody has ever made a cat joke to us.
Although sometimes DH calls her 'Kitty-Kat as a pet name'. But that's not a bad thing IMO.

I love it, considered it myself. DP wouldn't agree to it for DD because he thinks it sounds silly. If you both like it, go for it.

Lesbian on Big Brother the other year. Or a cat. Not good.

It's a very cute name for a little girl, but it's a bit naff for an adult imo.

I'd go for Catherine or if that's a bit dull Katerina and give Kitty as nn. Then she'll have some options when she's older if she's not kookie enough to be an adult Kitty.

My DD has a friend called Kitty, but she can't say 'K' yet (she's only 20 months) so she calls her Titty

But other than that I think it's a lovely name.

Only Kitty I know is nearly 50, an academic and the loveliest person. So, yes, good for grown ups too.

Love it.

love it.

Oh yes, you're right Lockets
Kitty was also the name of Anne Frank's diary.
I don't like it - it's not what I would class as a 'proper' name. Could be a nickname, short for Katherine.

Love it

I absolutely love it, as I do Kit for a boy

Lovely.

I've just never met anyone called Kitty. The more I think about it, though, it's actually growing on me.

I wish I had called DD Kitty

I knew a Kitty once. Didn't think anything good or bad about it(was an adult though). I quite like it.
