Kitty Spencer → Lady Kitty Spencer – As the daughter of a British earl, she is entitled to the style of "Lady" just like her paternal aunt Lady Sarah McCorquodale, and daughters of other British earls such as Lady Sarah Chatto, Lady Louise Windsor, etc. Keivan.f  Talk 02:59, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Move to Lady Kitty Spencer. Other daughters of British peers that are entitled to the use of the title 'Lady' are thus styled on Wikipedia, as the examples you have given above and also with others such as Lady Diana Cooper, Lady Violet Manners, Lady Mary Charteris, Lady Cynthia Asquith, Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, etc. Regardless of title, she is also most commonly referred to in the press, as shown in the sources from her article, as Lady Kitty Spencer and not Kitty Spencer, so I would mainly argue to move the article for WP: Common name purposes. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:14, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support move per reasons given above.  ONR  (talk)  22:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:NCPEER, as this does appear to be her common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:25, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Move as per reasons given by Willthacheerleader18. Linguisticgeek (talk)

Correction
Willthacheerleader18 thank you for editing this page. I tried doing the same thing you did, but my source was deemed insufficient even though I cited other that said her legal name is Kitty Eleanor Spencer. Dashellsaint (talk) 02:13, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Different reliable sources list different things. For instance, The Independent refers to her birth name as Katherine Eleanor, while Forbes states both that her full name is Katherine, and her surname has been changed after her marriage. However, HuffPost and Marie Claire have both listed "Kitty Eleanor Spencer" as her birth names.
 * Thanks for bringing it up. Since sources differ, the best thing to do is to include both alternatives in a footnote in the lead, which I already have done using the sources you provided. Keivan.f  Talk 01:58, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Fantastic idea. Thanks for taking care of that conundrum.--Bettydaisies (talk) 04:17, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
