[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] is really stuck in my heart tonight, so I’m playing around with her. [name_f][/name_f] If you used [name_f]Katharine[/name_f], which nn would you use? [name_f][/name_f] And any ideas for unexpected middles? [name_f][/name_f] I’ve thought about [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] Liv/Livia so far, but I would love to hear some other ideas.
[name_f][/name_f]Thank you!
I like [name_f]Katia[/name_f] best for a nn
[name_f][/name_f]Middles:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Leonie[/name_f]

[name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Livia[/name_f] is singing to me. I really like that combination.
[name_f][/name_f]I’ve never found any nicknames I truly love. I think, realistically, I’d shorten it to [name_f]Kat[/name_f] but I feel pretty neutral about it. I might try to get away with [name_f]Nettie[/name_f] which almost works, though it would surely only get usage at home.
[name_f][/name_f]Some middle name ideas from my long list:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Lois[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Millicent[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Viveca[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Zola[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Ardith[/name_f]
If I used [name_f]Katharine[/name_f], I’d consider nicknames [name_m]Kit[/name_m], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_f]Katri[/name_f], [name_f]Kat[/name_f], [name_f]Kia[/name_f], and [name_f]Keedie[/name_f], depending on the kid tbh!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is nice!!

Kit or Kitty for sure! I don’t love any other nn’s for Katharine. I mean, Katie/Katy and Kate are nice but not overly appealing to me.
I like Katharine Esme or - Katharine Lucia, Katharine Isabella, Katharine Delphine, Katharine Xanthe, Katharine Eunice, Katharine Annfleur and Katharine Ardith or Katharine Sunniva are lovely 
I would go for [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], or [name_m]Kit[/name_m] in that order.
[name_f][/name_f]All three of your middle oprions are great! I thimk I like [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Liv[/name_f] best.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Simone[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] is a lovely classic that feels underused, elegant and classic. I think I would want to use [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] as a nickname just because she’s so adorable and feels homespun but then maybe [name_m]Kit[/name_m] as she transitions into a teenager. [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] would be my favourite combination. I have a soft spot for [name_f]Esme[/name_f]!

Thank you everyone! I did like the idea of Katharine Xanthe or Katharine Viola, but the more I sat on Katharine, the less she felt like a name I could see me using for a daughter. She’s a really special family name but maybe better suited as a middle?
