It sounds pretty, but it sounds like a confusing name to bear. If it were me, I'd probably spell it Cadie instead.
Awful. I despise Katie, but Kaydee's worse.
It makes the pronunciation easy. I would hope that it was a nn for, say, Katharine Dorothy.
Katie is like Betty - they are pronounced as though the "t" is a "d" where I'm from. While the spelling "Kaydee" addresses this, it's just too cutesy. The main character of the movie Mean Girls is named Cady. I don't know that that's much better because I think she gets called Caddy like a golf caddy by the principal or a teacher. There's also the initial way to deal with it like K. D. Lange. Just easier to avoid the name altogether! haha!
This is the case for my area too. It's almost unheard of for a crisp T to be used, it's almost always turned into a D sound. I think it's just the accent, it would sound absurd to us to clearly enunciate the T. That's why names like Letty and Lottie don't work well here, they would become Leddy and Loddie.
Huh, I didn't realize Betty was pronounced with a T sound either. Isn't the Betty character on Riverdale pronounced like a D?
I've never heard of any names with a t pronounced with a d before
Unpopular opinion but I kind of like it.
Don't really like it
It's the insufferably cutesy Katie with an even more insufferble cutesy spelling.
I don't like Katie to begin with; it is ridiculously overused, making it as bland as bland can be. The spelling Kaydee just looks annoying, informal, unoriginal and juvenile.
I dislike the spelling but admit that I prefer this pronunciation over kayt-ee or kay-tee for Katie.
I have only heard Katie pronounced with a D sound like this name.
I've never heard of the d sound
Hm, maybe it's an American thing.
I'm Canadian.
In that case, maybe it's a Midwestern/Canadian thing because I'm from Minnesota, haha.
Me too. I'm not sure why the website lists it as KAY-tee.
