Still to common?

I like Katie, prefer it to Kate. Would have it as a nickname for Katherine/Katrina/Kathryn/Kathleen though.

Oh...you don't mean common as in popular? Is that correct? Or is that just Lostart's interpretation?

I love Katie. I would have had it for one of mine, but we have a close relative already called it.

I much prefer Kate and personally I'd call her Katherine or Catherine to give her options but if Katie is to your taste then it's a perfectly reasonable name.

It's no more common than Chloe or Emily or Isabella etc. Names become popular because people like them.

I love it - it was a possibility for DD.

It is not, and never has been, common. So there!
