Girl Name Question

If we name DD Catherine and then call her Kate or Katie, do you think we can avoid people calling her Cathy?

I think if you say early on that you dont want her to be called Kathy, people wont. My cousin is Victoria. My aunt said we could call her anything we wanted but not Vicky. To this day, nobody does. Not even her friends.

ITA. If you introduce the nickname you want that is what people will call her.

Re: Girl Name Question

definitely! that's my niece's name, and she's always been Kate or Katie. I've never even heard someone attempt Kathy/Cathy.
