I’ve always loooved the names [name]Christy[/name]/[name]Chrissy[/name] and [name]Kathy[/name] since I was really little but now I always hear that they’re dated. I can understand that with [name]Kathy[/name] since the youngest one I know is in college, and [name]Christy[/name] I can understand just because there were apparently so many in the '70s but I also hear it a lot now. Are they both too dated for use?
Side note: I’m fine using [name]Katherine[/name] to get to the nn [name]Kathy[/name] because [name]Kathy[/name] would be unique nowadays but with [name]Christy[/name], I’m more lost. I’m worried [name]Christina[/name] nn [name]Christy[/name] is a little too generic for my taste. Other suggestions for ways to get to [name]Christy[/name]?
This may be dated too but I think [name]Krista[/name] sounds prettier and is less dated than [name]Christy[/name]/[name]Chrissy[/name]/[name]Kathy[/name].
[name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Christine[/name]/[name]Christina[/name] will never be dated. Though some might debate me on the topic of [name]Christine[/name]/[name]Christina[/name]!
You can get to [name]Christy[/name] via [name]Christian[/name], [name]Christabelle[/name], Criselda?
[name]Katherine[/name] isn’t dated at all. [name]Kathy[/name] is dated but it’s a nickname so no big deal. Somehow I’d not be surprised to meet a little [name]Christy[/name] so I guess it’s not as dated in my mind.
I don’t think [name]Christy[/name] is as dated as [name]Kathy[/name]. I prefer [name]Christy[/name] as a full name, as opposed to having it as a nickname but [name]Christiana[/name] would be nice.
I love [name]Catherine[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name] (I like the history of usage for the C-spelling more and that fact that it’s less popular…although I think that might be more a consequence of my aversion to the letter K). Somehow I don’t find [name]Cathy[/name]/[name]Kathy[/name] dated much at all although [name]Christy[/name] seems very 80s to me.
