Re: Christabel
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I like Christabel and I like Kitty, but I have great difficulty in connecting one with the other.
I'd use Kitty as a nn for Katharine. I wouldn't use Christabel at all, as it might (mis)lead people to think that my family and I are religious. For the same reason, I wouldn't use Christiana, even though it was the name of two of my great-great grandmothers.

My thinking on nn's was that Kit is often short for Christopher so why not Kit or Kitty for Christabel which starts with Chris also
