I don't understand why you would give a child a name and decide beforehand not to use it. If you're not going to use it, I would make it a honouring middle name.

I love the name Catherine, but spelled Katherine so would use it as is. But I also like the nns Kat and Kata, but have found with my own children that nns usuaully evolve unexpectedly, so wouldn't plan to use a specific nn.

Have to say I hate Kitty, but I hate girly, cutesy names.
