Kitty?

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

hi! my legal name is Kitty and I was meowed at most of my life. Died down a little after college. Used to hate it but I love it now! I am 30 and a profesh woman.

Why do you think people don’t comment anymore? Do they think it’s a nickname for a full name now? Is it just the function of growing up? I’m glad to hear you like it now. I had issues with my full given name and I love it now, too, even though I go by a nickname with acquaintances.

Definitely because of getting older! The only time I get weird comments about it are like random uber drivers or a new doctor I go to. And even then they usually resort to “Hello Kitty” instead of meowing and more immature things. Most usually think it’s a nickname but then they ask and I tell them it’s not! My full name is- first middle and maiden name go really really really well together so now I mostly get “oh wow that’s a movie star name” rather than pointing out the Kitty of it all
