My hubby and I both like the name Kate for a little girl. However, Katherine is not our favorite. Can anyone suggest other names that could be shortened to "Kate". Thanks!!

I love Kate! I can't give you any other suggestions than whats already been given, but its a great name. I like it just on its own!

Caitlin (there are many different spellings like Katelynn)
Katarina
Katrina
Catriona (A version of Katrina, I believe)
Kathleen (American version of Caitlin)

Caitlin is personally my favorite, even though it's common. It shortens to Kate naturally and I think it's a beautiful name.

Hope this helps.

Caitlin. I am thinking of Kate to if it is a girl. My husband likes it too. Must be a guy thing. They dream of Kate??? Hope not. But Caitlin is a good one if you like it. My husband doesn't though. Good Luck. J
