Help[Opinions] Re: Catherine
in reply to a message by Bitey
What about Kate? I think it sounds younger than Kathy but older than Katie but I'm not sure about its actual age range.
(and for some reason I think Cate looks less dated than Kate)

It does seem to be a bridge between the two - most of the big celebrity Kates/Cates I can think of were born in the 70s. The latter half of Gen X, I guess?
That said, the Kates I personally know were all Katies once upon a time, so I tend to think of it as the more neutral/"mature" nickname.
edit: and just to stretch this generational sorting even further, Cat/Kat seemed more popular with the Gen Z-ers I went to college with.
