My name's Kate and everyone calls me Katie and I hate it. They always ask my if my name is Katherine or Kaitlyn ans I say no just Kate. Many think this is a simple name but really It's very simple and unique because people always asume its Kaitlyn or Katherine.

My name is Kathryn but everyone calls me Kate! It's an awesome name for a soccer player (such as myself) because my teammates only have to say one syllable! And It's an awesome name!

My name is Kate and I love it! I like that It's classic and simple. I only know one other person, whom I'met recently, who's name is just simply Kate and It'sort of makes me feel unique because It's not my nickname, but my real name.

My name is not short for Katherine or Kathy or anything else. It is just KATE. To me, the name represents a strong woman--maybe a congressperson or a president.

This is my name and people always remember it. :) i've been serenaded many times with "Georgia on my Mind" and it gets sillier every time. If you name your daughter this, be prepared for a bit of poking fun. It turned out to be a great joke in my family, because my mom is Virginia. :D Just a family of states, aren't we❤️ I couldn't be happier. It's a very beautiful name, although finding pencils with my name is impossible.

I love it. It's not my real name, Kaitlyn is, but my parents originally wanted to name me just Kate but "chickened" out and opted for a longer name (Kaitlyn), so I am considering changing my name to just Kate. Such a pretty name.

I love the name Kate! Well, of course, I would name a daughter Katherine and then, if she is okay with it, use Kate as a diminutive, but either way It's an awesome name. Kate is simple but has a lot more to it than there is to be seen in its four letters and to be heard in one syllable. Kate is strong and powerful but delicate and feminine at the'same time. And it rhymes with "great" -- Kate is great!

My name and I like it. It's short for Catherine with a C though - after my Great Grandmother who was a Catherine and always called Katie. I was called Katie as a child and did not know my name was Catherine till I got into trouble for failing to answer the roll in Kindergarten. The only time there's a problem now is when I get checks or receipts with only an initial. The banks don't like 'K' cheques going into 'C' accounts. So never give your bub a short name that has a different initial from tehir real name! Sometimes people ask me at work and I explain that Kate does all the work but Catherine gets paid.
