Baby Names

Names for nn "Katie"?

If we have a girl I would love to call her Katie, but I want to use that as a nn as opposed to the fll name. What names, other than Katherine, could we name the baby that Katie would work for as a nn? (DH doesn't want to use Katherine bc that is his brother's fiancee's name, who is universally disliked in the family. He is afraid it would cause dramma) Tia!
Eta: the middle name will be Gail, after my godmother, so I feel that I can't use just use Katie as a na,e, because it sounds too abrupt, and doesn't flow....

Re: Names for nn "Katie"?

  • My sister is just Katie- and it suits her perfectly. I couldn't imagine her as a Katharine.

    Anywho- you could always use Katelyn (or various spellings thereof), or Kathleen (nms).

    (I am sure I spelled that wrong so please just over look, I'm feeling lazy)

  • I don't have any suggestions, but love the name Katie.  DH and I wanted to use it too but can't think of a formal name we like (maybe Katelyn).

  • I also like just plain Kate. It's fine as a stand alone name, a perfect way to use the nn Katie, but will also give her a more grown up option as she ages.

  • I'm a Kathleen that goes by Katie (family calls me Kate) and I love it!  I like having a "formal" name and a nickname.  I think Kathleen Gail sounds nice :)
