Somebody posted above Kate is a very popular name in Hollywood. The reason being is because Hollywood can't control people like they used too. Basically most actors and actresses don't use stage names anymore. [links]
For the most part, I find Kate very classy and simple and I really like it! I don't like Katie/Katy though. Katie/Katy doesn't seem to age very well. [links]
Overall, I think it is a versatile name in the sense that it can fit a girl who grows up to be a rock musician as well as a girl who will become a lawyer or politician. It also transitions well from childhood to adulthood. These are NOT my sentiments in regards to "Katie", however. To me, Katie evokes the image of a three-year-old Irish girl with pigtails. I think Katie takes the slightly sharp and sexy edge off of Kate and makes it too cutesy. If deciding on a nickname for your baby Katherine/Kathryn, chose KATE!
I think Kate is a very pretty name. I like the way it sounds when you say it, as it sounds very sophisticated and sweet at the same time. I don't think you can go wrong naming your child Kate, and Katie is a cute nickname for her. more
One drawback, like a previous user (Kal) stated, is that people seem to have an ingrained opposition to calling us Kate and love calling us Katie instead. It's cute when my grandma calls me that - the rest of you need to step off. :D I've also been called Kat, Kathy, Katya, Katelyn. I think sometimes people feel Kate is not a proper or full name and that they need to rechristen you.
Kate you have such a beautiful name I would love to have your name someday!
