[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who's just "Katie" and gets asked what it is short for a lot. It's not a huge deal but it will come up.[/quote] [b]I'm "just" Katie. It's actually a family name, so we've had "just" Katie's since the 19th century. [/b]Sometimes people ask, but it's not a big deal. That said, I wouldn't name a kid Maddie, and I have a cousin nicknamed Maddie. [/quote] I think this was a lot more common historically in America, yes. I have been to a friend's cabin in West Virginia and spent some time walking in a few old Appalachian graveyards. There were a lot of Katies and Lizas and Lizzies from long ago. My LDS friend from Utah who was there said these were really common "pioneer names" from her part of the country too. It's a really cool way to continue your family's history by keeping those old name trends alive.[/quote] You van.put whatever[/quote]
