[Opinions] Re: Cathleen/Kathleen nicknames
in reply to a message by Catalina
Aw, I love Cathleen. I used to know the coolest girl with this name (spelling, too).
Catie is cute, imo, and it's not the end of the world to have to correct people's assumptions, though it can be tiring. If they want a nn that will never be spelled with a K or mistaken as a short form of Katherine/Catherine, they had better focus on the "-leen" part of the name for a nn. If they don't want to duplicate Lina, I'm not sure what's left. Lee? Maybe Cailee or Callie?
