DD2 is (very) overdue and we still don't have a name for her. DH really like Katherine (nn. Katy) but I'm worried it's too popular. However, thinking about it whilst I know lots of grown up Kates/Katies/Catherine's etc. I don't know any little ones. Maybe the 'Middleton factor' has actu out people off?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

I don't think it's popular. I know an adult Katie and an adult Katherine, but no babies, and I really don't think there are any little Katherine's in the school I teach in either.

We know one Catherine, one Katy, and two Katies. And we know a lot of children.

I would have used Catherine for any of my DSs if they hadn't been so resolutely male. DS1 would have been Katy; since then I have preferred Kitty.

I don't think it's that popular. I know one 9 month old called Katy and no others.

I don't know a single one...it's beautiful though. I really like it. In my DDs classes there are none at all....DDs are aged 9 and 5.
