Kate Or Cate? For a Baby Name?
Posted: 09-29-07 15:45pm

In a couple of months I'm emigrating to a different country (Australia), and I am pretty sure (like, 95%) I want to change my preferred name. Based on my second name, which is Catharina, I like Kate/Cate.

Which one do you prefer, and why?

I'm not a girly-girl, at all, but a bit of an androgyn 'hey I'm not just my gender'-tomboy. I'm pretty direct, sporty, funny/silly, intelligent (without bragging... sorry), and extreme in my emotions; when I'm frustrated I feel like breaking stuff, when I'm sad I'm really depressed, and when I'm happy I'm elated. I'm a dreamer. I like rock/alternative music, dark/psychological movies & stories, poems from the heart (Alfred, Lord Tennyson). Concerning pets I'd like a rabbit as well as a snake...

(My given first name is Sabrina. You see that doesn't fit me, or is that just me?)

Would you say Cate suits me, or Kate?

thanks.

I prefer Kate but only as a nn for Katherine or Katelyn (I don't like the spelling Caitlin). Cate doesn't look right to me.
