I was thinking of just going with Kate. But, since there's a KateP, I could go with KateW.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I haven't done a log check to see if we have any Just Kates.
No plain old Kate in the database. We have Kat, Kat Allison, kat perez, katalene, Kate P., katefate, Katerina Bee, katewrath, Kathy, Kathy Astrom, kathya11, Katie D, Katie M, katje9, KatsInNuyork, katya, and Katya P.
eta, Kate W would work, or KateW.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I will say that a similar situation (though not with my birth name) is what made me decide to change my name from "Ro" to "Astarte".
It was quite confusing for other posters.

You could go by OtherKate!
I like OtherKate too.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hey Kate, I don't think there'd be a problem with you using Kate or KateW as your username. At least, speaking as one of the Kates, I won't mind. :-) Or you could keep Vandalisimo and we could all call you Kate anyway (like some of us call DavidS Hec, PMM Plei, MFNlaw Maria, DXM Ed, etc.).

Kate let me know, and I'll switch it to whatever you like.

I kind of like OtherKate, but the first thing I thought of was "the other white meat" which made me laugh.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
We have Kat, Kat Allison, kat perez, katalene, Kate P., katefate, Katerina Bee, katewrath, Kathy, Kathy Astrom, kathya11, Katie D, Katie M, katje9, KatsInNuyork, katya, and Katya P.
And yet, whenever the subject of multiple names comes up, Jess is the example that gets used...

Jess M., JessPMoon, Jesse, and JesseBelle (who I imagine must wear a pink cowboy hat).

I can go with OtherKate. I've never been fond of the first letter of my last name. Too many days of being last in line because of alphabetization or something. Stupid W.
Thanks!
