an author's name ...
Ran across a book recently by an author named Kat Chow. (Apparently her real name; she is or was an NPR reporter.)
For those not in the US, Cat Chow is a brand of cat food made by Purina. They also make Puppy Chow, Kitten Chow, etc.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Well...she chose it for herself. And she likes it.
At least it's not spelled like Cat. But I'd go by Kit, Kathy or Cassie. Kit Chow isn't much better, but I really like the name Kit.

Lmao if my name happened to be Katherine Chow, I'd have chosen Kitty personally xD I like it

I like it. I would go by Kat too, if my name was Katherine Chow. It's funny and inoffensive.

If she wants to be noticed and talked about, she's on to a winner. And presumably if she doesn't, she'd have changed it by now to something invisible like Olivia Smith.

Oh, that's unfortunate. You'd think she'd choose to go by Katherine.

Just about any other form of Katherine/Kathleen would be better than Kat Chow.
Except Kitty Chow.
