What names would you take into consideration if you were to honor a Cate?
I’d like something other than any form/spelling of Caitlin, Catherine, or Katie if possible!
I have a brain rot and cannot think of anything so I thought I’d ask the berries.
Similar meaning? Similar looking? Similar pronunciation? Something from history that connects them? Anything goes!
You can think outside the box as much as you want and let your amazing brain think of the most creative names because this is not for an actual child.
Thank you in advance, I can’t wait to read what you guys have to suggest!
I’d take the same meaning approach, and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] is the clear standout to me of names that mean pure that aren’t derivations of Catherine/Cate/etc.
