Traits: Katie is pictured as a cute, blonde, petite athlete with an entertaining style.
Yeah, not so much at all. Perhaps the cute bit. And also the entertaining.
Famous people with this name: the movie The Sons of Katie Elder; Steely Dan's song "Katy Lied"; the song "K-K-K-Katie, Beautiful Katie"
And about a billion more, both people and songs.

What I'm more impressed about is that Lynn found a song using Genevieve. Not too many of those floating around out there.

And for some reason Kathryn isn't a name? I suppose it's under Katherine, but still.
