Re: Kate?
in reply to a message by Dot
I like Kate as a nickname. The only Kates I've ever known have been strong and intelligent, unlike a lot of Katies I've met. And the Taming of the Shrew character gives the name some stronger backing too. To me Kate isn't cutesy and trendy like Katie at all. It's more classic and strong. I really like it spelled Cate or Cait, and I would consider using Catherine, and that would probably be the nickname I'd go with.
