Re: Catherine
in reply to a message by Kelly R.
1. Since Catherine is easily "nicknamable" I might come up with a good NN to call her. What are your favorites?
I like Catherine (with a C) best without a nickname but I had to pick one, it would be Cat.
2. I also thought about calling her by her middle name. (Right now my favorite combos are Catherine Amelia and Catherine Fiona; both MNs are also on my favorites list.) I've heard of others who call their children by their MNs, but wondered what issues I'd need to be aware of with doing this. Any thoughts?
I know 3 people who go by their middle names-all guys though.
My dad- John Mark-goes by Mark bc his dad was also John. I don't think he really had any complaints. We always knew when telemarketers were calling bc they were the only ones who asked for John :)
I worked with another guy-James Andrew- who hated that he went by his middle name, Andy. His dad was also James. It made things confusing at work bc people knew him as Andy but his email, in the directory, etc, he was James.
