Help[Facts] Re: Kitt as a form of Katherine?
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Thank you so much for the wealth of information. I suppose I had taken modern spelling rules for granted, and it's fascinating to note all of those variations. Still, with as difficult as it's been to find modern sources listing it, I suppose Kitt is a name that's been lost to a bygone era.
Unless that Kit Kittredge movie becomes popular, but I cringe every time I hear that sickeningly cute name. I think it'd be a little unfortunate if Kit/Kitt saw a rise in popularity because of it, but I digress.
My character Kitt exists in a modern-day setting, with Katherine having been passed through the generations as a family name. I've just personally been reluctant to use "creative" misspellings of classic names and nicknames, and I had been considering changing her name to Kit. I think I'll be keeping it now though.
