Apparently the Danish equivalent of Kate. At least, it was the closest to Kate I could find.

“Katjaa, also known as Kat, is a main character who first appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead.”
I want to spell it like the character, “Katjaa” and have people call me “Kat” if they want to. It’s really cute and simple.

Pretty, but it sounds like this is an archaic spelling of "mirror" in my native language. I know both words are pronounced differently.

I can think about forms of Katherine that I like more, but still Katja has some charm that no other related name has. It is strong, short, yet youthful, subtle and feminine. I know a Katja, she's Polish, but I guess has also some foreign descent, like German maybe. It may sound tough, but it definitely doesn't lack in femininity.

My name is Katja and I think it is unique but also quite annoying because people cannot pronounce it right.

In my opinion, this name sounds very harsh and masculine even though it ends with an "a". I would never use it.

In what I've found, Katja means "pure." I like the name very much and would plan to name my daughter that someday.
I teach German so I want a German name that isn't too old (I think of my great grandma Olga from Germany...). Katja sounds cute and dainty. It's like the German form of Katie. I do worry how people would pronounce her name. I've seen it English-ized to "Katya" to aid pronunciation, but I don't want to lose the German roots.

I really like this name as a diminutive of Katherine or variants thereof. It is classy and sounds cool without being as common as Kate/Katie. User:Swallow1989 described the name perfectly.

It's used in the Netherlands as well.
A friend of mine bears this name and I like it. Especially because it had the Dutch word "kat" in it which means "cat".

Also spelled as "Katje" from what I've seen. Katja ("KAHT-ya") is also a Russian pet form of Katherine, with a somewhat different spelling. I like this name; it's a diminutive that actually retains some elegance and dignity of the original name, unlike "Cathy", "Christie" or "Candy", which are too "cutesy" and have become a little too common.
