> [@Gffp](#): > > Sorry, I thought it was one of the different forms derived from Katherine You’re right, the name is derived from Katherine. But I would never refer to myself as a Katherine. (Anyway, I was just joking 😉 ) My mum always used to get annoyed when people called her Joanne instead of Joanna. ---

> [@PiecesOfKate](#): > > but I find it odd since ‘Kate’ is clearly shorter than ‘Katie’. Yeah but nicknames aren´t always about being shorter but being…cuter…for lack of a better word. Kate sounds more formal than Katie. I wouldn´t call a Kate a Katie unless she was a real good friend. ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > Kate sounds more formal than Katie. I wouldn´t call a Kate a Katie unless she was a real good friend. That’s interesting. I hear it the other way round. But that might be because ‘KATIE!’ usually means my mum is telling me off. ---

It would be, but I think most Kats are Katherines originally. That might just be the people I know though. > [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > Kat… 🐈 Please don’t joke about spelling errors. ---

So anyway, if you rather be called Kate than Katie I´ll take notice. 🙂 > [@PiecesOfKate](#): > > Please don’t joke about spelling errors. 😈 ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > Kat would be even shorter. 🐈 I use Kat as my name in videogames, but nowhere else. Probably because I was asked to enter a nickname for some game or other in the past, and I don’t really have any nicknames. Except more recently, my friend I studied German with calls me Katja (the j pronounced as a ‘y’) 😄 ---
