How popular is Katherine (Katy)?

[MetellaEstMater]

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!

Congratulations on the birth of Katherine!

I'm a Katy! Very rarely come across anyone with the name, in my adult life and as a teacher! Especially with the 'Katy' spelling, usually it's 'Katie'. Absolutely love my name, but it is just 'Katy' not short for Katherine.

And I've just read back and seen you've given birth!

Yay hello baby Katherine, welcome to the world, you have a beautiful name!

Congratulations and lots of happiness wished your families way!

I know two little Katie's. One is 5 and the other is 2.

I wanted to call my daughter catherine. I didn't and I regret it. Congratulations. Beautiful name.

Aww congratulations! You have chosen a fab name- enjoy your new baby
