Katie - first thing that comes into your head when you hear the name?

DP & I both really like the name & it sounds really good with our girl middle name & surname, but when looking on a few websites they said something we hadn't thought of, just wanted to know the 1st thing that comes into peoples heads when they hear the name to see if we need to change our minds. Thanks

LucyJones · 11/06/2010 21:15

LadySanders · 11/06/2010 21:15

Lilyloo · 11/06/2010 21:15

thisisyesterday · 11/06/2010 21:16

i thought Holmes. then my cousin and a little girl I know with the name

Tortington · 11/06/2010 21:16

i think its nice

LowLevelWhinging · 11/06/2010 21:16

love it

DuelingFanjo · 11/06/2010 21:16

My sister is Katy with a Y so I always think that it's the wrong spelling.

clemettethecoalitionbreaker · 11/06/2010 21:17

My cousin Katie and my colleague's lovely daughter Katie.

Bacofoil · 11/06/2010 21:17

Same here.

But I don't think I'd think that in rl if I met you, unless you are bright orange with gravity defying cartoon knockers.

I'd probably think 'waht a nice name' or 'What Katy Did'

Katymac · 11/06/2010 21:17

"What do you want now?"

Well you asked

unfitmother · 11/06/2010 21:19

'What a lovely name'

abdnhiker · 11/06/2010 21:19

The current love of DS1's life (he's almost four), I love the name, it's very popular up here in Scotland though.

unfitmother · 11/06/2010 21:19

Who is Katie Price btw?

ja9 · 11/06/2010 21:19

'Lovely, very pretty name'

RaceyLacey · 11/06/2010 21:20

Oooh, a little bit over 50/50. I really like it and I could overlook the Price connection, just need to convince DP.

Getting a bit ahead of myself as I have no idea what baby is and not due until December but I like to be organised

Thank you, keep the positives coming!

Katie X and Katie Y - two girls at my DCs school. And Katie Z, a toddler I know.

But FGS don't worry about Katie Price - does anyone seriously think she is still going to be famous in ten years' time?

RaceyLacey · 11/06/2010 21:21

BAcofoil - brilliant, ha ha!

unfitmother - I love you!

Yay, loads more love it than think Price.

girl i went to primary school with who always wet herself! i certainly don't think of Price, but i think Kate is so beautiful.

pumperspumpkin · 11/06/2010 21:23

Katie Price here too in a hypothetical answer to your question way. Am so so so relieved I'm not the only one.

Having said that if you introduced me to your baby daughter Katie I don't think it would register at all, unless your surname is also Price.

cory · 11/06/2010 21:26

I like it. Katie Price will soon be forgotten about but the name itself is timeless.

Rockbird · 11/06/2010 21:27

I have a friend called Katie who is the loveliest, funniest, sweetest person I've ever met. I think of her when I hear it. Lovely name.

Purplebuns · 11/06/2010 21:27

Lovely! Far more positive associations than neg.
Kate Bush, what Katy did and my (almost)SIL is Kate who has just finished her masters degree and is fabulous!

katechristie · 11/06/2010 21:29

what katy did or what katy did next.
very pretty girl's name IMO.
I prefer Y rather than IE tho, but that's probably because the katy's I've known have been katy not katie.
But then I'm biased of course .
