Two questions:

1. What full name would Kay make a good nickname for?

2. What middle name would you pair it with?

Willoughby wolloughby willina, an elephant sat on Billina.
Willoughby wolloughby wirfak, an elephant sat on Mirfak.

Kevin is occasionally assigned to girls, so the name Kay might soften as well as shorten her fn--as it would for guys.

Kevin (Kay) Antoinette

Katherine (Kay) Amaryllis

Kay Stephanie

Kevin (Kay) Anthony

Kay Stephan

Kay might also work as diminutive nn for Aiden

1. Well, my first thought with sound was that Cadence would make a great full name, but the K spelling of Kadence does bother me quite a bit. I personally like Kay as a full name, but I could get on board with Kaede or for a boy or a girl or maybe Katie, Kaisa or maybe even Michaela on a girl.

2. Kay Amelia, Kay Linette, Kay Evangeline
Cadence Wren, Cadence Gale, Cadence Pauline
Kaede Matthew, Kaede Isaac, Kaede Laurence
Kaede Marie, Kaede Danielle, Kaede Helene
Katie Josette, Katie Viola, Katie Rochelle
Kaisa Dawn, Kaisa Felice, Kaisa Evelyn
Michaela Irene, Michaela Lace, Michaela Pearl

1 - any name starting with K! Katharine, Kaitlyn, Kathleen, Karen ...

2 - Katharine Suzanne; Kaitlyn Maureen; Kathleen Louise; Karen Loretta

For the record, I find Kay, Jay, Dee, JP etc pretty trite. But my Beatrice daughter prefers to go by Bea, so what do I know?

If I didn't have a sister in law named Katherine Miriam would have been Katharine nn Kay. Katharine Cecilia, I suspect.
