Quotebut in my experience, they're Chris and Katie
Now this is interesting! Maybe it's a regional thing, but I've only met I think two Katies in my life, both my age (Millennial): one was short for Kathleen, and the other Katelyn (both to my surprise). In fact, I think I've known more Caitlins / Kaitlyns (mainly those spellings) in my life than Katherines / Catherines, and nearly all the Caitlins went by their full name. Most of of the Katherines, too - at least, the ones my age (Kathy / Cathy is the most common nickname of the ones of my parents' generation).I myself like Kat and Kate, but not Katie.***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

I'm a millennial too (a grandmillenial, I think, ahaha - born in 85) and grew up in the Southern US. There were piles and piles of Katies everywhere. Some were just Katie, some were short for Katherine/Kathryn etc., and I'm sure some were short for the Caitlin names. Katherine is pretty standard down here, though. I am a huge fan of Kate, but not so much of Katie.
