Which spelling do you like better Kadie or Kaydee?

Question

My husband really likes the name Katie but really wants to spell it with a "D" any suggestions?

Answer 1

Neither one. Kadie sounds like a golf caddie, and slag for Cadillac,  Kaydee soulds like the toy company. Ekaterina is best!  but then people will think she is Russian which has it's good and bad points. Why not go with the traditional,  there are enough poorly spelled names around already. Kate is cool.

Answer 2

I would prefer the spelling "Kaydee" just because some people are going to pronounce the name by the way it is spelled. "Kadie" would probably have a lot of mispronunciations. But, it all comes down to what you prefer! Good luck!

Answer 3

kaydee

but shouldn't it be up to the both of you to decide on a name.. not the yahoo population.

Answer 4

Whats wrong with "Katie"? Anyway I would choose "Kadie" becauseif you choose "Kaydee" people will shorten it to "Kay" or "Dee" so there's no point, with "Kadie" they can;t. I prefer Katie tho.

Answer 5

Neither.  I would pick a different name every Katie I've ever met has been an awful person.

Answer 6

Why give the child a name that will be mis spelled on important papers her entire life.

She will have to spell the name over and over and over and over and over and over

Answer 7

Neither, there are way too many Katie, Cadie, Kaydee, Kadie, Kate, Katherine, Katelyn, Caitlyn, and Kaitlyns running around my school and the entire world.

Kadie is better than Kaydee though, since you asked.

Answer 8

Kaydee looks better but Kadie is more unusual and interesting

Answer 9

Why not Cady?

Both Kadie and Kaydee are a bit too cutesy to wear well on a child for her entire life.  I can imagine a 5 y.o. Kaydee, maybe even a 16 y.o. Kadie.  But a district attorney called Kaydee?  A heart surgeon named Kadie?  No.  They're limiting choices.

Cady gets you the "d" and puts an interesting surname spin on a familiar name.  It was Lindsay Lohan's character in Mean Girls *and* the maiden name of suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

It's a great choice that would wear on a child or an adult.

Answer 10

Katie is a great name.  Kaydee is alright, but seems a little too flighty.  Kaydie is not as good because it has the word "die" in it.

Answer 11

Kaedi , Keidee , Kaedy , Kady , Caedy , Caydi

I dont like Kadie cause its Ka - DIE

And I dont like Kaydee because its boring

My fav spelling is Kaedy

Answer 12

Kadie

Answer 13

I doubt that you actually get to read this one - as far down the list as it is

But, honestly - neither - I like the traditional Katie

However, if you are insistent - I like Kadie better (the other looks like you are trying to be way to trendy)

Just avoid K-8-E ;-P

i like cady...um but kadie is nice. just remember she wont be able to buy key chains pre-personalized....they will olny have katie..none the less, i have a real neat name and its unique, so go with kaydee, it will  make it more interesting.

Answer 18

i like kaydee. they are both unusual but kaydee looks more feminine i like it a lot

Answer 19

Kadie- I have a weird spelled name too (Cate) and it will be easier to say "like Katie but with a D" because people will probably be spelling her name wrong and she'll have to correct them.

Answer 20

kadie... more professional...  

Answer 21

It's ridiculous to make up a name, you should source the name correctly and give the child the respect he/she deserves. There's nothing more annoying than silly made up names.

What you "ought" to do is name her Katherine and then  affectionately call her whatever you want.

Answer 22

Kaydee  

Answer 23

Kaydee is different way to spell it, but its still pretty, how about:Kaydee Elizabeth, or Kaydee Diane, Kaydee Alexandra,Kaydee Jade, Kaydee Marie, hope these helped!  

Answer 24

Kaydee

Answer 25
