Really don't like it. Every Kay I've known in real life has been awful as well

It feels too short and a bit boring.

muddyford · 01/04/2022 18:06

Fresh and unusual these days. I have known several and none were short for something else.

I think it's ok as a nickname, in common with a lot of previous posters, or as a middle name.

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 01/04/2022 18:03

I actually really like it

LesLavandes · 01/04/2022 15:44

Boring name

FayCarew · 01/04/2022 15:38

I know one. She's just called Kay
She gets called Kate a lot, and people ask if she's called Katherine or Kathleen

I like it and also like Dee

I like it as a nickname or middle name

PeskyRooks · 01/04/2022 13:52

Well I like it. It is simple sweet and fresh.

demoness · 01/04/2022 13:48

'Kay.

I think it's better as a nickname than a legal name.

emmathedilemma · 01/04/2022 13:37

Very dated and not in a trendy way! It’s normally a nn, typically for Kathleen based on the ones I’ve known.

Theoldwoman · 01/04/2022 13:30

Not much, sorry.

Love Kate though!

Girl or boy?
