Katy or Katie?

[FantaZero6]

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!!

Katie

Definitely Katie. Katy just looks wrong.

Kate

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.

Katie.

Katy

ie ending looks more like a shortened/nickname

Definitely Katie

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.

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?

Katie definitely

I think Katy is pretty.

Oh I see you already addressed the Kate thing.

Maybe Kate would be better... it depends if we find another middle name we like!

I loved the 'What Katy Did' books, so I'm going to say Katy.

My DD is Katie Alice

My DD is a Katy, I hate the ie spelling, doesn't look right to me.... although all those naff kids things with names on are always Katie or Kate.

Katy. But Kate is even nicer.

Katy!

I'm a Katy and spend my life correcting people and explaining it's 'with a Y'. Members of my own family still get it wrong after 40 years. Actually, I don't like it at all. I always feel faintly embarrassed introducing myself with such a childish-sounding name especially in professional situations. It doesn't help that where I live 'Ts' are always dropped in the local accent which makes it sound worse.

Katie

I'm Katy, I think it is much prettier, I dislike ie endings.

Katy

Definetly Katie.
Katy looks like it says catty

I like them both, but know a couple of girls who are Katy and they always moan that all the personalised things are 'Katy'.

Probably not a major lifelong problem. But very important if you're eight or under!
