Baby Names

Thought we had it...please vote (cliky)

After weeks of debate, we had happily settled into the name Olivia Kate.

Now the hubby is afraid of Kate being too short and informal. He said he thinks we should use Kaitlyn, Katherine, or Kathleen. Our last name doesn't work with my second favorite, Kailyn, so please vote on the other three. I still like Kate the best, but please be honest!

  • I don't think you need to worry about having a "formal" name as a middle name. Go with Kate if that's what you like. And if you are planning on calling your child by her first AND middle name, then definitely go with Kate.

    I love both Kate and Katherine, but I think Kathleen flows best.

    Actually... I think I like Olivia Kate and Olivia Kathleen equally.

    This.

    This is actually one of my husband's fears! He said it started to sound like Mary-Kate (Olsen). I assured him that we are only using her middle name so much right now because we are discussing it, and in reality, she will be known as Olivia!

  • I love Olivia Kate, but voted for Olivia Kathleen.  i might be biased though, because Kathleen is my name Wink
  • My name is Kaitlyn and I always loved the idea of naming a daughter Olivia with the middle name Kate/Kait/Kayte. I was always going to spell Kate as Kait (since that's how I spell it with my name) but Kayte and Kate are also cute. But I like Olivia Kate best. I think it's such a cute name and it flows so nicely too.
  • Please do not spell it Kait/Kayte if you use that one. I myself, love the way Olivia Kathleen sounds.

    I agree with your DH. I think Olivia Katherine is nice. Kathleen seems dated to me.
  • I really like Kate.  If you want something short but sounds like your choices, you could always use Kay too.

  • I voted Katherine. I wouldn't worry about Kate not sounding formal. Kate Middleton will make the name Kate formal. Possibly?
