I love Katherine but prefer Catherine
Where I live Katie and Kate are more comman as first names than Katherine
Kit and Kitty for Katherine are nice
My Daughter Catherine once she was old enough to chose told us she preferred to be known by her full name rather than Catie or Cate, as there was a girl with the full name of Katie in her class when she started school, now if any of her freinds hear us calling her Catie they give us strange looks as to them she has always been Catherine,
I didnt want Catherine to have a nickname but her cousins called her Cathy when she was first born which I hate,So I told them to use either Cat Cate or Catie
