I think this was probably the most popular name amongst my contemporaries growing up (80s baby, grew up in the 90s). Some were just Katie, and some were Katherine or a variant called Katie. I don't recall any Caitlins or Kaitlyns that I knew called Katie but there were a fair few Kathleens.

I liked it then and I like it now. Its problem was overuse, but that still doesn't keep me from finding it adorable. For a long time, I preferred Kate. I probably still do, but I'm kind of cooling on it. If I had a Katherine, I might even call her Katie rather than Kate these days.
