There seem to be lots of Catherine, Elizabeth and Mary's but NO Emily, Braiden, Hayden, Caden, Caitlyn, Madison, McKenzies...
There are a lot more names on the program and I will post them at a later stage. Any you like so far?

Well, I like these:
Vanessa Mary ~ two of my favorites.
Bridgette Janine ~ I would prefer Jeannine...
Angela Louise ~ Angela is pretty, and I love Louise
Katherine Brigid Mary ~ stunning.
Victoria Jane ~ Victoria is a bit stuffy but I love Jane.
Kathrine Elizabeth ~ lovely.
Elizabeth Ruth ~ love it!
Rebecca Mary ~ double love it!
Jeremy David ~ very nice name, and the only male on the list here.
Catherine Mary ~ another of my favorites. I would use it myself but DH doesn't like the "Cat" potential for a NN and I really don't like any of the NNs for Catherine.

Hi elizabook,
Just wanted to say that Catherine is a lovely name! It doesn't need a nn. My sister is Catherine and always goes by her full name, as does my friend Catherine. Another friend has a Kathrine who also goes by her full name. Actually, when I think about it, I went to school with a Kathryn who also didn't have a nn. I do know a Kathryne Elizabeth who goes by Kate, though. And I know a Catherine nn Cathy.
I think that if you and your daughter tell people its Catherine, not Cathy, Kate, Cat, Katie, Cath, then people will use her full name.
I think it's a great name! :)
Good Luck!
Elaine
