[Opinions] Exactly! (m)
The name Katie has been high in the charts for the last 30 years so there probably are already doctors called Katie. And if you live in a country where nicknames are popular no one will bat an eyelid. My feeling is that if someone has spent seven years at medical school then they are obviously clever and successful and I would respect their opinion, not judge them for a name their parent has given them. The same would go for a lawyer or someone else in a position of authority. In any case, how many people actually know their doctor's name? You usually call them Dr (Surname). I see a consultant at the hospital (and have been seeing him for four years) and I don't know his first name. All the consultants/surgeons are known as Mr (Surname).
