Re: Katya/Katja
in reply to a message by Eliza
If anything Katja since it is a real pet form of Katherine, German one I believe which makes it all the better.
Standing alone I dont know. I guess it could, but sometimes its nice to have a more formal name. As I had a friend in high school whose grandmother wanted her to be named Suzie but her mom wanted something more formal incase she became a doctor or lawyer or something like that. So Susanne with the nn Suzie was decided upon. Not that she is becoming something professional as a doctor or lawyer. But I can see me using Kristina at the place I work at once done with my Masters, and not Kris or Kristi or other pet names/nn.
