Kate, Meg and Kate, little Katie . . . we love it. Actually, I’ve always loved it, and Jim put his two cents in last weekend.

Setting: Driving in the car, returning from a friend’s surprise party
Heather: “So, what are we going to name this little one?” (asked for the 100th time that day)
Jim: “I would say ‘Kate’ is my number one.”
Heather: “I have so many hang ups with Katherine . . . I LOVE it, but . . . “
(see, my grandmother is Catherine, my cousin is Kathryn . . . there are already two on my side of the family . . . then there is the fact that we know several of our friends love ‘Kate’ for their own potential-girls, too . . . )
Jim: “Could we just name her ‘Kate’?”
Heather: “What middle name goes with that? I think it needs to be multi-syllable because ‘Kate’ is so short.”

Then there was a phone call from Jim in Indianapolis last Monday evening during which I pitched ‘Kate Allison’ to Jim. His reply: “I like it.”
So, we have now said it over and over, and I think it’s the name for us. For her. For Meg’s little sister.
Kate Allison
There won’t be any voting on whether or not you like it, I’m sorry to say. The only voting now is how much you like it – your choices: like it, LOVE it, or planning-to-steal it.

Definately going to steal it since we figure we are having a girl! LOL
Ok...no, we already have a name that we love! Let's just hope we don't have a boy cuz all we got is, "Hey you kid!" Not suitable!
I think the name is very very pretty and feminine! I think it suits your family and Meg perfectly! Great choice!
Love,
Tiffany
Love, love, love it!! We never put Katherine (or any of the spellings) on our list for the same reason, but I LOVE Kate!
Yes! Now I can order monogrammed gifts :)
Hugs,

Beautiful! It's wonderful to have that decision made, isn't it?
