For some reason Nancy Drew is called Kitty in Sweden.

Amanda Blake played Miss Kitty Russell on the old T.V. show "Gunsmoke." Also, Kitty (Katherine) Montgomery is Greg's mother on the T.V. show "Dharma and Greg." She was played by Susan Sullivan.
I like Kitty. I think it's pretty cute. My grandmother's name was Kathryn and she went by Kitty her entire life. But what astounds me the most is that it still sounded cute on 76 year old woman.
I think Kitty was cute back in the 20s or 30s, but now it just looks weird. Plus it's one of those names you can't see a little girl having. It makes me think of a sweet, little, old lady.
My sister is a Kitty, she was named after our great-great grandmother which immigrated to the US from Ireland. I was always jealous because it was such a CUTE and perky name (totally her) but she has always hated it. In school she was alway meowed at, and many people assume her full name is Katherine and take the liberty to call her that.
I like this name. It's my nickname even though my name isn't Kathrine, it doesn't even start with a K or a C. But it's because of the way I am. I'm a slender agile person that isn't all that big. Plus I like cats. And I have that kind of personality: independant, "I'll do it when I wanna do it" attitude. And I like to sleep. Plus I have long finger nails that scratch people at times. So it's a fitting nickname.
My name is Kaylee, but my un-offical nickname is Kitty, although, I wish to change that into an offical nickname this year as I go into sixth grade, as I am in love with cats and dogs, but 'Puppy' is very, strange sounding. I think this is wonderful nickname, but as many people, would never choose it for a real name.
This is an AWFUL given name. Maybe as a nickname or something. I know a girl whose given name is Kitty and I feel so bad for her. Her sister has an awesome name though.

Kitty, Daisy and Lewis is a British indie/folk band, one of the members being called Kitty Durham.
I have a soft spot for Kitty as a proper name, though it would need to be paired with stronger middle names to work. I think it can suit girls and women of all ages. One would need to be quite upper-class to be able to pull Kitty off as a name without sounding trashy.
Judy Delton wrote a juvenile adult series, set in St. Paul, Minnesota, during the Great Depression and World War II, about a young Catholic girl named Kitty. The books are 'Kitty from the Start,' 'Kitty in the Summer,' 'Kitty in the Middle,' and 'Kitty in High School.' I read the series many times as a preteen.
I know a little girl named Kathryn that is called Kitty for short by her family and their friends, but very moderately. DEFINITELY not a good given name, in my opinion. I think it's great in short for Katherine. :)
This has always been my nickname, short for Kathleen. I got teased about it a LOT when I was younger and even now in college. Even still, I am very fond of it and wouldn't change it for anything. :)

Kitty was the name of Stevie's mother in "Malcolm in the Middle".
I was stuck with this nickname a few years ago because of my middle name, Kathryn. I didn't like it much then as I didn't particularly like cats but it kind of grew on me. The nickname is fine. Definitely not as a given name though.
My friend's name is Katelyn, but she goes by Katie or Kitty because there were, I believe, 4 other Katelyns in her grade. She can pull it off, though, because she's cute and Meows in the hallways.

Can also be short for Cathleen/Kathleen - that's the only name I've ever heard it being short for.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the fact that Anne Frank started her diary entries with, "Dear Kitty."

Kitty O'Sheas is a very famous Irish Pub that was named after a real woman.
I am a Kitty, and I hate my name if you can believe that. I've always thought that it's a silly name that only sounds right on a little kid. I was given this silly name by a five year old who was taking a bath at the time. When I say my name, people always think that my name is "Katie" instead of Kitty, which is really annoying. The only good thing about this name is that it can be a good conversation starter sometimes, because I can talk about my name to people. In all, I think Kitty is a silly name and if I have children someday, I'll make sure to name them something that sounds right for a kid and an adult.

This is an adorable nickname (nickname only!) for Katherine/Kathryn/Katharine. It sounds so sweet and is less common than Katie, Kate, or Kathy.
