I love the name Kate - Katherine, but unfortunately DH is not a fan! lol

When I was a teen, it was so HUGELY popular we had about 6 of them in my class alone lol But it doesn't seem to be that popular anymore.

The Spanish version, which I love, is Catalina (Katalina) so you could still use Kate if you wanted to, but the classic Katherine is beautiful.
Oh, we also had a Kathryn Smith - a very intelligent girl, and totally suited her name, flows well, and not boring at all.
