HelpRe: Maple and Kate
in reply to a message by Lily
I don't think that Maple would be confused with Mabel too often. Most people are familiar with maple syrup, so they would probably think of that before they would Mabel.
As for Kate, I think that it could get more popular because of Prince William's wife, but it has already been popular for a while, especially as a nickname for Katherine, Katelyn, and other related names.
A lot of people might assume that Kate is short for something, but I've seen Kate and Katie used as full names enough times that I don't think it would be that much of an issue.
Most of the Kates I've met have been Katherines. I don't know the exact number, but I've known quite a few Katherines who have gone by either Kate or Katie. I used to know a Kate whose full name was Katie. She preferred Kate.
