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.
