HelpRe: Nicknames for Katharine
in reply to a message by Siri
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.)
