Hi everyone,

I'm new here!

We have decided on Katy/Katie for our baby girl.

Which spelling? I think I prefer Katie, DH prefers Katy...

Thanks everyone!!

Katy. Looks less childish. No idea why the Y makes me think that but it does!

Or you could call her Kate and just have Katie/y as her childhood name?

My niece is Katey :)
Sil wanted to be "different"

She constantly has to correct people over it, she's 11. Prefers to be called Kate.

Definitely Katie

Katy

ie ending looks more like a shortened/nickname

Katie.

Thank you

Kate is nice, but we are using a 1 syllable middle name, so it's a no and we do prefer Katy/Katie.
