Actually, i really like it! Different than the normal Kate/Katie/Kat nn. Might be harder for people to "get" at first, but if that's how you introduce her it would be fine.

I'd say acceptable!

My Mom had a student a few years ago named Katherine, nicknamed Rin. I think Ren's pretty close :)

It's cute! It's not too much of a stretch, either. I think when most people say Katherine, the last syllable sounds more like "-ren" than "-rin," so it works!

I always think you can nickname a kid whatever the heck you want! Ren is cute :)

Nope, not a stretch at all! =)

I have a friend named Kathryn but everyone calls her Ryn. I quite like it.

I was just going to post this exact comment... spelling and everything...

I agree with others, not too much of a stretch if that's what you started calling her from the beginning. I like it. I think I like Rin better than Ren (just because of Ren & Stimpy).

I think it's a stretch, but it could work if you want it to.

I have a friend named Lauren who goes by Ren.

It is quite a stretch, but mostly I don't know why anyone would call a girl the name of a crazy, not so attractive 90's cartoon chihuahua.

I like it a lot - I don't think it's that much of a stretch.

I like it better than Kate/Katie/Kathy
