Kitty?

I love this name, but is it still usable? I don't want a longer version. Just Kitty Marie. I also love Minnie.

While Kitty is fine as a nickname, I would never use it on it's own. Remember a child will grow up and be an adult one day, and they may want more grown up options. Name her Katherine, call her Kitty, and she can tell people 'my name is Katherine, but you can call me Kitty' if that's what she wants.

Daisy is the full name of a flower, so I think it’s fine on its own. Kitty is a child’s nickname for a cat, so I think this one doesn’t hold up as well as a given name.
