[Opinions] Re: Maple and Kate
Maple is cute in a GP sort of way. I don't think I'd ever seriously consider it. I do think it would get confused with Mabel, but wouldn't be too difficult to correct.
I'm just fine with Kate by itself. I think it's pure and clean. I also like Katherine/Catherine, and I like Kate, Kit, Katie, etc. as nicknames for it, too. I only know one Kate, and her name is just Kate. I honestly think more people still go by Katie over Kate- I know three Katies.
