I love it, but it is my middle name, so that might have something to do with it! :)

Very pretty, though I prefer Katherine or Katharine.

Its my all time favorite.

Adore it both on it's own and as a nn for Katherine, Katarina,Cathleen etc.
I also adore Cate as a nn for Catherine.

It's overdone; the new Katie.

too plain, maybe as a mn for a nice fn (Genevieve Kate) or I prefer it as a nn for Katherine, Kaitlyn, Katrina etc. :)

I'm sorry, I can't stand Kate. It's just chronically boring. It sounds like a very common noun or something. Besides, it is not a full name to me.

It's pretty, but a little bit too plain for my taste on it's own, but it can be incredibly cool with a proper middel name.

love it! good mn too

I love it. I never tire of it, though it is so popular.

Plain.

I love it, and I think its quite sweet...but its also very overdone.

Only as a nn. As a full name, it's just sort of air-filled- Did that make any sense? I just mean, it's rather overused. I love Katharine though, and as a nn for that, it's just fine.

Nice, safe and boring to me. I think of "Jack and Kate" in Lost. I am sure they got these very popular names for a reason.

"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

I agree, it is very nice as a nn or as it's own name. It is not frilly, or kre8tyv, but nice and simple and sweet. :o)

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I love it as a stand alone name as well as a nickname for Catherine. I just can't express how fond I am of this name.
