DH and I are considering the name Katherine for our little girl. We would call her Kate for short. However, we can not agree on a middle name... So what do you think of this name?:
It's okay, but it's plain, a bit boring, and frightfully common. While I think a good, basic name can be nice, this one is a combination of two very common, very plain names. I would look for something a little less common for the middle name, if I were you.
Way too plain. It has no character and I find it very boring. I have a very plain and boring name like this (Leah Marie) and I always wished I had a cool mn. I'm not saying you should do Katherine Nevaeh or anything like that, but I would definitely do something a bit more fun for the mn, since nobody ever uses it anyway. What about something like:
thank you for all of the suggestions! DH wanted to use the mn Lee because it's his middle name, but I haven't been too excited about it, however I know it means a lot to him. I do like the idea of changing the spelling though... we'll see!

Katherine Lee is pretty sounding, but I prefer the spelling of Leigh.
Katherine Leigh is prettier looking imo.
Nice name!
Katherine is my MN and our #1 girl's name.
Our short list:
Katherine May (family name from DH's side)
Katherine Elise
Katherine Grace
Lots of good suggestions. Depending on how long your name is, Katherine Elisabeth would be pretty as well.
Is there a specific reason you chose Lee? If you like it, there is nothing wrong with Katherine Lee.
Way too plain. It has no character and I find it very boring. I have a very plain and boring name like this (Leah Marie) and I always wished I had a cool mn. I'm not saying you should do Katherine Nevaeh or anything like that, but I would definitely do something a bit more fun for the mn, since nobody ever uses it anyway. What about something like:
Katherine Beatrix
Katherine Adair
Katherine Blair
Katherine Finley
What about:
Katherine Anna
Katherine Elizabeth
Katherine Renee
Do you have any family names you could use?
I actually know a Katherine Lee. Friends call her "Katie Lee" sometimes...
My DD is Katherine Grace. Others we considered:
Katherine Jane
Katherine Claire
Katherine Anne
Katherine Adair
Katherine Adelle
Katherine Wren
Katherine Victoria
Most of these are family names of some kind. I also have a friend whose daughter is Katherine Elizabeth which is pretty. Long, but pretty.
I'm Kathryn Marjorie and love my name.
If you like Lee, how about "Leigh" to make it a little more special.
I was Cathryn Leigh (changed mn to maiden name) with a very unique English last name- not boring at all.
