Hi Kate (nice name, LOL)!

Around here, Katharine/Katherine are pretty much equal in use. I slightly prefer Katharine over the E because I think it looks "nicer". Not that Katherine isn't lovely. It's just that all the old starlets from the old days - Katharine Hepburn, etc. - they spelled it that way and I just like it. I know she'll have to say "Katharine with an A" more often than not, but being as she'll go by Kate it won't be an everyday occurence (except at the beginning of the school year, hehe). But like I said, I see an equal number of Katharines vs. Katherines in this area so I'm not too worried.

I won't mind if someone calls my Kate "Katie" once in awhile, like little old ladies or whatever - I just don't want her to be KNOWN as Katie.

Of course, it'll all be moot if Nug turns out to be a Nugget instead of a Nuggette. Then we're stuck because we *like* Evan and Noah but we don't *love* them like we do the girls' names.



Thanks for all the kind words, ladies! I love talking babies and baby names so if you feel like it, this is the place to post. LOL
