HelpRe: Catherine
in reply to a message by Kelly R.
I love Catherine(I actually prefer Katherine but Catherine is lovely as well.)
There are 3 Cáitríonas in my husband's family - they go by Kate, Cína(Keena) and Kitty.
1. Nicknames - Kit, Kitty, Cate/Kate, Katya, Katie, Cat, Rina, Trina, Cath, Cathy, Katisha, Katinka , Kay, Pussy(not recommended). I love Kate and Kitty.
2. Same issues someone has who goes by a nn - having to explain their full name/real name every so often. It would only be an issue in official circs though surely. Having said that my mother has always gone by her middle name and she dislikes the name and finds it a nuisance.
I like Catherine Amelia. But really - use Catherine - it's a great name.
