For me, Catherine and Katherine are both valid spellings. I love both. One is Latin and one is Greek, it doesn't make either one right or wrong. The same logic could be applied to Cate and Kate. However, I do prefer Kate. Cate doesn't really seem contrived to me. I think it's just that Kate is more traditional, so Cate seems a bit odd to my eyes. Perhaps with more people going by Cate, I will adjust. I don't see anything at all wrong with it and I'm sure it will grow on me.

ETA: Using a different nn, Cathy and Kathy both look alright to me as they have both been traditional spellings.
