HelpNicknames for Katharine
Kate, Katie, and Kathy are out of the question.
I'm thinking of:
Kit
Kay
Kat
Kitty
Anyone ideas? My current favorite is Kay.

I don't think Katharine should even have a nn maybe Kate or Katie but you don't like those names. :P

Traditionally in Britain, Kath is the working-class nickname and Kitty as the aristocratic one. Because of that, Kitty sounds a bit affected to me. Katy is the most natural. You could consider ...
Kaddy
Eh ... That's all I've got lol. It's been so widely used for so long, that I think Katherine's had every plausible nn squeezed out of it already!
All the people I know who have nicknames, acquired them as teens and students from friends. Their parents wouldn't have chosen them in a million years, and hate them, probably. So I wouldn't get too set on any nickname. The chances of the child actually using it past a certain stage aren't great. The chances of liking the nickname they do use are even less, which is one argument for using a name people won't shorten. (That's what puts me off Katerina. I love it, but not Kat.)

I love Kitty, Kitsie, and Kay best of any, I think. Katrin, Katty, and Kix would be cute, too.
Actually, I really like Kix. I don't know why it appeals to me so much, but I really, really like it, heh. Maybe it's the influence of my favourite cereal.

ETA: I know a Catherine called Cassie, so I think Kassy could work for Katharine--as could Kizzie or Kiki.
The dogs on main street howl
`Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.

I know it's a stretch but what about Wren? Kath-wren is basically how it's pronounced :) Also, Katya is a good one.

Come a little bit closer, Hear what I have to say Just like children sleepin, We could dream this night away. But there’s a full moon risin, Let’s go dancin in the light"

Kathy is American's "Kitty"
Except I tend to see a middle-aged woman, not an old woman. It's nice, but it's common, and carries a certain perception that I don't think will be overlooked. My niece has a "Vicky" in her class...and I just cannot see that as a young girl's name. I have no problem with names of the elderly - but middle-aged names.. then I have a problem.
Go figure.

I also like Kit-Kat and Kitten.

I think Kit-Kat is cute, but to be used only by close family and friends. In the movie "Mystic Pizza", one character is named Kat(for Katherine), and at one point one of her friends calls her "Kitty-Kat-Kat".

I love Kit-Kat.
I'm glad to find someone else who loves it. Its too much of a pet-name, though, to be used outside of the house.

Please don't shout.
There's really no reason to type in all caps that way. In internet communities it's considered the equivalent of shouting, and it's rude. Just so you know. :-)

Whoops!
I just did that so you would know it was a movie and so you wouldn't think I was being hateful when typing "10 things I hate about you"
Sorry.

If you had typed it in lower caps, I would have thought of the movie
By typing in upper-caps, I thought it was a mean post.

Kit — ok, i've met a very nice Kit, but I still don't like the name.
Kay — Sorry, but i cannot think of Kay as a nn for a child. All the people who are named Kay that i know are adults.
Kat — Wonderful!
Kitty — fine
