Middle name for Kitty

Jodiggity · December 2015

I love the name Kitty and realise that it's one of those marmite names that you'd either love or hate. My granny was called Kitty and right now it's my favourite name.
My problem lies with the second name, I think it needs a strong name. The only two that I think go so far are
Kitty Elizabeth
Kitty Rose
If you guys had any more suggestions I'd be grateful to hear them. Thanks in advance

This is my #1 favorite girl name. I sadly can't use it because my H had a cat named Kitty that lived a very long time and had such a strong personality that he just can't agree to it. Boo.
But anyway I like Kitty Elizabeth!
A few more I like:
Kitty Jane
Kitty Louise
Kitty Josephine

I'll comeback if I think of more!

Why not use a full name like Katherine and call her Kitty as a nickname? It's hard for me to imagine seeing "Kitty" on a resume.

If you absolutely plan on using it as the given name, then yes - strong traditional middle name like Elizabeth, Charlotte, Margaret.

I have a friend who goes by Kitty and her full name is Katrina.

Although Kitty is a proper diminutive of the name Katherine, giving her a traditional/formal name will provide her the option to have a more mature sounding name when she's adult. Kitty as a given name is a bit juvenile.

You can always call her Kitty.

Love Elizabeth, Louise, or Rose for middle names.

I agree on giving a longer name just in case she doesn't like kitty later on

We have thought of that, I'm not mad on Catherine or Katrina but did think if she became president (could happen right?)it would be nice for her to have the option;)
Might put it on her (if it's a girl) birth cert and just introduce her as Kitty. I've only ever known my mom as Toni and she was christened Antoinette.
In Ireland it's more of an old lady name rather than a juvenile one. Thanks for the input so far Keep them coming! Louise rolls nicely too thanks!

I also like Kitty Louise.

Other suggestions:
Kitty Ophelia
Kitty Odette
Kitty Rosalie
Kitty Lorraine
Kitty Jeanette
Kitty Wilhelmina
Kitty Cosette
Kitty Frances / Francesca
Kitty Bernadette
Kitty Georgina

I really like Kitty Louise and Kitty Charlotte, but agree that a formal name with the nn Kitty is the way to go.

Jodiggity · December 2015

@gonetothesea thank you! Ophelia is pretty cool too and definitely one I wouldn't of thought off on my own:)

Kitty doesn't sound strong to me at all...
I'd pick a full name with kitty as the nickname.

Kitty kind of sounds like a stripper

HepCat · December 2015

I have a Zoë who (in the fierceness of being two) insists on being called Kitty. You don't need to pick a name that gives Kitty as a natural nickname.

Kitty will get all kinds of teased in school

dramaphile · December 2015

What about Kit with a nickname of Kitty? My grandma used to go to a hairdresser whose name was Kitty, but I'm pretty sure it was short for something.
Other options:
Katya
Katerina
Kate

Cat?

In all seriousness, I can't imagine a grown woman with Kitty as the real, formal name. A nickname, sure.

I'd go with Katherine, Kaitlyn, or some other variation and use Kitty as a nickname.

This might be one where culturally Kitty has a different connotation depending on where you are. Kitty is an older lady name where I am, too and not at all juvenile or stripper-like (in fact I found the mental picture a little funny). I think giving a longer name and using Kitty as a nn would be better for job prospects etc.
I love
Katya/Katia/Katja
Caitlin (I prefer the traditional spelling)
Katherine
Katrina/Catriona
Katalin
Kathleen (different spellings around)
Catalena

I love Elizabeth as a middle and Louise

I die for Kitty Bernadette!!!

I adore Kitty as a NN for Katarina or some other full name.

Other MN options: Delphine, Beatrix, Renee, Therese, Genevieve, Heloise

My 75yo grandma has gone by Kitty her whole life, though her given name is Kathleen Sharon. It's a bit old fashioned but I do agree, giving your daughter a choice to be called kitty as an adult seems appropriate. There are lots of names (pretty much any k or c name) to use kitty as a nickname from. Because that's what it is,a nickname. Doesn't have to make sense how it came from the original name.

ZoeyRaeJames · December 2015

I agree with some of the PPs on the name Katherine, and NM as Kitty. Maybe a name like Katherine Anne/Kitty Anne? Or, Katherine Elizabeth/Kitty Elizabeth maybe?
