Catherine Louise vs. Should we use a nickname?

My best friend/mentor’s name is Catherine Louise. She really is the person most precious and dear to me (after my husband and son), and now that I’m having a daughter, I want to honor her by naming my daughter after her. I just have a question: My friend goes by Cathy mostly. Should we also shorten my daughter’s name and give her a nickname just call her Catherine regularly. We love Catherine as is, but also like the nickname options (except for Cat). What does everyone here think? -Bekah Sorrell

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
