I'm a Katy (not short for anything, just Katy itself) and I absolutely adore my name. I'm very pleased though that Katy Perry has recently popularised this spelling, as I always had it spelled Katie as a child :/ I much prefer the Katy spelling as it looks classic and traditional to me, whereas Katie just makes me think '80s/90s child'. Just my own thoughts :)
My name is Katy (with a Y). It is so funny cause none of my teachers ever spell my name right! My real name is Katelyn (also spelled a different way than normal). But everyone calls me Katy(:
This is my name, short for Katlyn, and I love it! However, it appears to be almost physically impossible to spell it correctly. Even my own grandpa can't!
This is my best friend's name, short for Kathryn. Almost everyone spells it Katie though, or the teachers will call her Kathryn. It drives her nuts. Katy is unique, just the spelling of her name.

I absolutely hate the name Katy. It's so much prettier as Katie.
My name is Katy (with a Y) and I still come across people who have never seen it spelled that way. I like it better though, since it is much less common. I would also like to say that it is not just the pet form of Kate, but also of Katherine, Katharine, Kathryn, various other spellings of the same name, along with Kathleen. I have never gone by Kate in my life.

Katy is better than Katie, although I still prefer Kate.
I have noticed that Katy with a 'y' is not as poular as Katy with an'ie'. Personally I am glad my name is with a 'y' rather than an 'ie'. There is also a trail in Missouri called "Katy Trail".
