HelpRe: Katy or Katie
in reply to a message by Katie
I wasn't trying to be mean, and I don't really understand how what I wrote was mean. I personally would have a problem being named Katie, or even a nickname that's detatched from its origins (like Molly or Sally). I am surprised no one has asked you if Katie is your full name. I'm sorry if I offended you. A criticism of the name isn't an attack on people who bear it.
The point would be if Hypothetical Katie is more like me than you and would rather be Dr. Katherine Lastname than Dr. Katie Lastname (or Justice, or Ms, whatever, you see my meaning). Some people would just rather have that full name to fall back on. I would rather give my child that option.

Its ok.. sorry I flipped out so much, I've just seen quite a lot of snipiness, pretention, rudeness and 'I'm better than you' syndrome round here recently... I gotta say, none of its actually coming from you. So I'm sorry. Sure, if I got to pick my own name, it wouldn't be Katie but it could be so much worse and I'm fed up of people in here slating it (its been done before).
