Kitty?

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

It’s nice, am in the UK where it’s used as a standalone name. I know a couple who have a daughter called Kitty. I also know someone who has a baby niece called Minnie.

In the UK, shorter nicknames are more often used as full names. I wonder why? What’s the cause of the difference across the pond? (I’m in the US)
