Last Minute Baby Girl Name HELP

GalwayGirl80GalwayGirl80
in March 2012 Moms
About a week ago, my DH decided to change our baby name from Annika Day to the unknown...... well, we have FINALLY come to a conclusion that we love the nickname Katie, but we want her to have a more sophisticated, grown up name to go along with that... However, the problem is that I don't love the name Katherine, Katelyn, Katrina, or Kate... so what do we do? Just name her Katie? Do you think it'll hold her back in life if she wants to be something prestigious like the President? (Hey, ya never know! We parents have HIGH HOPES for our kids! LOL!)

    I don't think Katie will hold her back at all and can be shortened to Kay, Kat or Katie too.  I say pick the name you love and think suits her best.

    I have a friend named Katrina (we all call her Kat).  I also love Kaitlyn.

    I would pick any names that lead to K.T. initials and call her Katie.

    Or you could even use Annika nn Katie. I think that's a reasonable stretch.

    I like Katie, but I do think everyone will always assume it's a nickname, and she may want to fall back on a more formal version at different points in her life. 

    For what it's worth, I adore Annika Day. When I realized no Ann- name would work with our last name, I was really bummed.

     Good luck!

    At this moment, more than likely, we would go with Katherine "Katie" Adele S____.

    I like Adele because it reminds me of Edelweiss (Sound of Music), which is a song my mom sang to me as a child and what I sing to my son every night. :)

    So since Katie/Katherine means Pure. She'll be my pure, white blossom of snow. ;-)

    I have a friend just named Katie. It definitely hasn't held her back and she is an awesome individual that I know will go far in life. I say go with what you like!

    One of my best friends in high school was Katie, full name Kathleen. :)

    One of my friends named her daughter Kate and they call her Katie (similar to Anne or Ann and calling her Annie). Just another idea...

    I love Katherine Adele.  It's very sophisticated.  I also love the names that the PP's suggested.  FWIW, my niece's name is Kaitlyn, but we almost never call her that.  She goes by Katie 99% of the time because that's what her parents liked.  I think if you start calling her Katie, the name will stick and her "real" name will only be used in rare situations.

    I really like Katherine Adele. Sounds very pretty together!

    I am Katherine but go by Katie.  I like the fact that I could choose to be called either once I was older, even though I just stick with Katie.  I also work with a Katie who is just Katie- I think either way it works!

    Katherine Adele is GORGEOUS!  I totally love it!  :)   (Don't worry, I'm having a boy and won't steal it :-)  haha)

     

    It's so classy...
