Looking to use [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] or a variant of it as a middle name! DH’s grandmother’s name is [name_f]Kathaleen[/name_f] (yes, with that extra A) and she has strongly hinted that she wants to be included in the baby’s name. I don’t really like [name_f]Katie[/name_f] or [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] because my best friend and cousin have those names (respectively).
Ideas? Thanks!
I think [name_f]Cathleen[/name_f] with this spelling would be nice. There’s also [name_f]Kathy[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/[name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f], [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f].
[name_f]Catriona[/name_f]/[name_f]Caitriona[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Katya[/name_f]
[name_u]Kay[/name_u]
I really like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a middle name! You could also use [name_u]Kit[/name_u].
[name_f]Calina[/name_f] might be nice its close yet different enough.

I prefer [name_f]Cathleen[/name_f] spelling as I know a satanic [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] are lovely. People really should not hint this way; it strikes me as wildly inappropriate.
