Your title! Grin

Well, my middle name is Kathleen, but I'm afraid for me Katie would be a no-no. It's a nice name but has been ruined for me by Ms Hopkins and Ms Price!

Yes don't mind Katherine for a more formal version

I love it. If Evie can be a full name, why not Katie?

It's...nice. That's all.

Lovely but agree with the Catherine/Katherine Sunday name.

No .

ZingSweetPea · 10/12/2013 16:42

lovely!
one of my nieces is Katie (Catherine)

I don't know if it's popular or what but I love "proper" names!

I have. Katherine, her own choice of nn (she's 13) is Kathy.

If I were you (I'm not!) I'd give a Katherine/Katharine/Catherine name and then use nn if you want.

But I'm a big no-no on nicknames as formal names.
