I thought Catherine is the same root name

    “Katie” is typically a nickname for Catherine or Katherine or Kathleen, so I rather doubt it.

    This is like asking if there were ever two brothers named Steven and Stephen, or Shawn and Sean.

    No, no one has ever named sisters these names (and yes, that’s sarcasm).

    George Foreman named his 3(?) boys “George”.

    People do all sorts of stuff.
