We are considering Kate for our baby girl, it is the first name that feels do-able (or perhaps safe enough) She'd probably end up getting called Katie.

We were also considering Seren, Serenity, Violet, Elisha, Sophie, May, Beth, Cordelia, Elspeth and Fenella.

Our surname is a bit like Bellingford, does Kate/Katie Bellingford sound ok? And what on earth could I use as a middle name for Kate? it's a bit of a tricky one.

Kate is a GOOD name.

I would go for Katharine/Katherine/ Kathryn and then she can choose whether she wants to be Katie, Kate or Kat, or even a Kath.

She may go through a few variations as she gets older......

Kate is beautiful. Lovely simple timeless.

Along with Anna and Emma.

Stick with Kate though not Katie. katie is fine but a little more twee and popular it doesn't have the elegance of Kate.

(I predict Kate will be beuatiful they all are. as are all Rebeccas-similar style name but not Becky-see?)
