Eh, you could, but if you're looking for a nn derived from Caemlyn, I'd go with Caely (Kaylie) or just Caye (Kaye) rather than Katy. Granted, not all nns are derived from the given name. (Take my Noah w/the nn Teddy - that's a personality thing, not a name thing). I like Branwen quite a bit and I can easily see Wren as a nn. Regarding the flow, though, I prefer Branwen Kaia Hope, but that's not my call. ;o)

It's a bit of a stretch honestly.
As concerns Branwen Hope Kaia, sorry but Hope is the only one I like. Branwen looks made up (I know it's not, but just looks like some cornflakes brand to me), Kaia is trendy and I don't particularly care for double middle names.

Branwen nn Wren is a stretch, but it's doable. I can't get Katy out of Caemlyn without throwing logic out the window. I could see Katy as a workable nn if Caemlyn's mn began with a T. Caemlyn T. Lastname would at least contain the sounds kay and tee.

I would prefer Branwen Kaia Hope over Branwen Hope Kaia.

Yes, you can use any nickname you want [m]

A nickname doesn't have to do anything with the person's name at all.

My dad's name is Gary and yet his dad called him Nick.

You could, but it would feel painfully contrived.

Branwen Hope Kaia is pretty enough (Branwen Kaia Hope flows better to my ears, since Hope is so abrupt in sound, and I don't care for caesuras ;). Wren works, but my preference would definitely be toward simply Branwen.

No, you couldn't.

---

The sounds aren't at all the same, and the name is bad enough.

Branwen Hope Kaia is fine, if not my style. However, Wren is a stretch. Wren Hope would be lovely.
