HelpRe: Katie
in reply to a message by Paul
As my name is Katie, I feel like I might offer a different view on this name!
It isn't my given name and I like it that way. Katie is a nickname for Katerina. I think just being Katie alone would be weird, as I don't think it has enough substance to hold its own. Another perk is that though it is my name, I do love when I'm called Kate, as it feels more sophisticated/less childish. I do think it's cute and not a bad name by any means; it's simple to pronounce, (most) people can spell it with no problem, and I haven't met that many Katie's meaning there isn't usually a time where I had to be Katie C.
I think it's a great nickname to be used with many names, usually Katherine, but I love Katerina as mine, and I wouldn't use it as a stand alone first name.

Depends on one's age... I've met a few that are now over 30, but most I've met or heard about are younger... and it does seem kinda common these days. Not sure how old you are though... or where you live... That may also make a difference... I did have a roomie named Katy when in uni, but it was short for Kathryn.
