I actually think that the more current Katherines will be Kate, Kitty or just Katherine. Or maybe Kat. Katie is very 80s (it was also popular on its own then) and Kathy more 50s (but I guess it could make a comeback in 20 years or so).

Yeah, Katie is very 80s. I knew tons of them growing up and I was born in 1985.

Really? There are a good number of Katies at the high school, and I have a 12 year old cousin by that name. I think it's still popular.

It's still popular where I live too! I was born in the 90's and a lot of people I went to high school with were named Katie. I also know at least one who is in middle school.

Maybe it's a regional thing.

Me too :P I was born a bit later but knew lots of girls with the name. It was always funny guessing what their full names were. Some were just Katie, some were Katherine, Catherine or Kathryn but there were many Caitlins, Katrinas and some Kathleens as well.
