I really dislike nicknames as first names, ex: Kate, Beth, Jenny, rob, etc. just one opinion. If you love it then go for it

Love Cate, but only because I have a secret crush on Cate Edwards, who in my view is super classy in spite of her trashy father.

I'm Catherine, named after my Grandmother. My parents gave/used the same nn for me and she had, Cate. I don't think its pretentious and I love that I have a family name and family nn.
Personally I like Kate for Katherine/Katharine and Cate for Catherine/Catharine etc..........but thats just me being pretentious.

I'd choose Kate. Cate looks like Cat.

Doesn't matter, either one. Both boring

My vote is for Kate.
If you were just asking about nickname, I wouldn't have a strong preference, but as a stand-alone name? Kate just seems more right to me. But I'm sure that's just because it's what I am used to (grew up with several stand-alone Katies and Kates, never met a Cate). Whichever you decide, it's a very pretty name!

Cate looks awkward. Kate is a great name - strong and classy.

I agree with most of the PPs. Use Catherine (whichever spelling) or Kathleen and call her Cate/Kate. I happen to prefer the former spelling over the latter.

By this, I mean "Kate" on the birth certificate, not Katherine.

I like Cate but it will just be misspelled all the time.
I am confused when a person's name is Catherine but the nickname is Kate.

Kate is still short for Catherine. The nickname uses a K, no matter how the full name is spelled.
I am a Kate, no longer name. So it's not required if you like the name Kate, just go with that.
