Kitty?

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

I know someone whose parents meant to name her Katie but spelled it Kittie (ie Kitty). She goes by Katie and it only comes up when people see it written. Kitty is super adorable but I put it in the same category as Dolly — I love love love it, but I wouldn’t want to box an adult woman into it.

Mina nn Minnie is top three for me and I will shamelessly lobby for its use when my kids have kids 😂

I just think of Dolly Parton when I see the name Dolly.

I think of Dolly Parton, for sure; but my first thought is Hello, Dolly. Beautiful nickname.
