I don't love Cat, because it looks like, you know, a cat? and that makes it seem phoney to me - but Kat seems cool. Dated, yeah but not as negatively as some other names. I knew a really neat person named Kat. She was a dog person btw, and I never really noticed that her name sounds like cat.

Most of the C/Katherines I've known were Kathy or Cathy. It's dated, and kinda seems too childish or precious, now?

Kate is good, on the right person. It's probably the best one, I think it has the best mix of sweet & strong.
Kath is alright.
Kitty is good on the right person.

I don't like Katie very much. It's also a little childish seeming imo. Was the name of a friend Kristen's mother when I was pretty young, and I kept mixing up their names because Katie sounds like a little girl and Kristen sounds like a grownup.
