I know a lot of people will think its dull but it means something to us and we both like it. It is a popular name, I know, but I think it was more popular 7 years ago than now...am I wrong? Do you know of lots of newborn Kate/Katies?

Love it. But I`m biased- I have a Katie.

I have an 8 yo Katy and she is beautiful!

I'm a Kate, spent most of my life saying 'No, it's not short for anything!'

I like Kate, just Kate.

I prefer Katy to Katie but just personally taste.

Sorry posted too early. No younger ones. It's a beautiful name and

I would not let my child play with someone called Katie. .... Joke....against that vile creature Katie Hopkins and her prejudices. It is a very nice name. I know none under 30.

Gingerandproud · 09/07/2013 08:26

I know some older ones in their twenties but no younger

SurreyWithAFringeOnTop · 09/07/2013 08:24

I know a four year old and a three year old, both Katie.

I know of many women my age (late 20s/early 30s) named Kate/Katy/Katie. I do not know any younger people with the name, although I know these names are on the rise again.

I adore the name Kate. It has a certain strength and class to it that seem diluted when an 'ie' or 'y' are included.

WaftyCrank · 08/07/2013 20:27

I know of 1 Katie who's 2 and no other young ones. I'm a Kate and I love my name, I know a couple others my age but never had loads in a class or lots of friends with the same name.
