Nice name.

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 31/08/2019 20:21

Boring and dated

whitetoblerone · 31/08/2019 20:19

It's underrated. Love it.

Why bother calling Kate Katherine/Katharine if you are only ever going to call her Kate?

Lovely name

SummerHouse · 31/08/2019 18:53

I love it.

Roselilly36 · 31/08/2019 18:51

I like it.

Chitarra · 31/08/2019 18:48

Nice

I absolutely love it. Wanted it for DD2 but already had a family member on DHs side with it as a shortened name for Catherine.

I’ve managed pretty well for the last 44 with it and i’ve only been asked by about 2 people if it’s short for Katherine. I must quite like it as it’s my dd’s middle name too.

It’s ok. A bit dated to me though but perfectly nice. A bit like Emma.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 31/08/2019 14:53

Love it. Perfectly acceptable as a name in its own right.

maryannay · 31/08/2019 14:52

I'd assume she was a Katharine

AverageMummy · 31/08/2019 14:50

It’s ok but prefer as nickname for Katherine as it allows so many options as they grow

IHeartKingThistle · 31/08/2019 14:47

Love it.
