[Opinions] Re: Maple and Kate
in reply to a message by Lily
I do think Maple will be mistaken for Mabel. Maybe not all the time, but it'll happen. It happened to me once already when I met a little dog whose name was either Maple or Mabel, I never quite figured it out. Regardless, it is cute. Maybe a bit too cute. I might be hard to pull off Maple as a name. It's super cute though.
I don't know too many Katherines. The few I do know go by Katie, Cathy, Kat or Katherine/Catherine in full. So for me, it's not common at all.
I think Kate will probably rise in popularity due to the royal wedding, but I'm not sure by how much. There is something old-fashionedly pert about just-Kate as a name I really enjoy. Like just-Eliza and just-Bess. I especially love it as a middle name; it adds such energy to a combo.
