If Kate is the full name instead of Katherine, Kathleen, Katrina, Katelynn, etc. I would use a long middle name personally. I do love Kate, though!

Kate is my given name. I think it's terrific, but I'm obviously biased. I would hate to be named Caitlin! I think it's fantastic that I have Kate for a full first name. It's a perfectly good one at that.
My middle name is Eliza. Kate Eliza has a completely different affect than does Katherine Elizabeth; it's an affect I really like and personally enjoy.
This is why, if you're interested in Kate as a first name, I'd steer you toward a similarly geared middle name. Kate Elizabeth just wouldn't do for me. Seems unbalanced, as in "if you gave her such a formal middle name, why the heck did you start off with a back-to-basics nicname?"

Or something like that. Those aren't specific suggestions, really, just examples of how you can find a middle name that is just as good as Kate, the same style as Kate and doesn't have to be, well, plain Jane.
I love Kate. I'm looking for a girl's name too, but with a monosyllabic last name, Kate doesn't seem quite right (then there's Kate Spade and Kate Moss who would disagree!) I just think it's modern yet classic, cute yet classy, strong yet feminine. I like a 3 syllable middle name with it...what about Alexis? I like Katie too as a nickname, but not Kaitlyn as much....aj
i am 7 months pregnant right now and actually we are naming her kaitlyn and i am telling everyone i dont want to hear them calling her kate or katie. my personal opinion is that katie and kate is too old and plain of a name. its like sarah, or elizabeth... there are just too many of them. good luck though!!
I love the name Kate. It's classy and sophisticated but short enough to be cute for a little girl. When I was pregnant with my DD, I really wanted to name her Kate but my DH only liked it as a nn for something. I didn't want to use Katherine so opted for Caitlin (although spelt with a 'C' we spell her nn Kate with a 'K').
I think if you want to use Kate you do need a longer middle name:
Kate Evangeline Kate Olivia Kate Elizabeth Kate Victoria Kate Angelina
