Yay or nay?

[brokenthings]

I really like the name Katie for my dd due January. I think it's a classic name but not too popular nowadays. Thoughts?

If Catherine or Katherine, yay

It'll be seen as a mum's name to the next generation but it's nice

It’s one of those names that I neither love nor hate. Go for it if you like it.

yay

I like it

Full name with Katie as short form - excellent (Catherine, Katherine)

Just Katie - bit rubbish.

I think Katie is fine on its own.

Katherine or Catherine is a classic name, she can be Katie when she's small and have the option of Kate or Katherine when an adult.

Yep great name

Katie or Katherine on bc. Don't use Catherine if abbreviating to Kate because of the change of initials.

Yes and also much more chance of Cath/Cathy. Go for Katherine - absolutely lovely and she gets the option of Kate or Katie. (Ok, there's Kath too, but you've more chance of avoiding it!)

Katie always seems a bit tweet, fine as a pet name.

I prefer just Kate to Katie, but preferably Kathryn

I love it. It's my middle name and I've always wished it was my first name. I also love Kitty.
