I really like Catherine but can't stand Cathy.

Teeny bit dated...

But that's not such a bad thing. I think it's sweet, but I know I would myself prefer Catharine, as I think the name is so pretty written down, but I'd call myself Cathy.

I only enjoy Cathy as an occasional nickname for Catherine.

Dated, and I don't really like the idea of a NN as a full name.

And, as odd as it may seem, I'd prefer Cath / Kath. No y.

I hate this name but then again so does my mom so I probably get it from her. Her FN is Kathleen and many people try to call her Kathy and she gets pretty mad. It's probably best as a nickname and not a full name. I find it to be rather frumpy and dated.

I don't think Cathy / Kathy is too dated, although I think it's a lot better as a nn.

Very dated. I went to high school with two girls nicknamed Cathy and Kathie and it seems weird even on people my age, let alone a little girl. I don't like Cathy or Kathy as a whole name or nickname, but I'd prefer to see it as a nn becuase at least they'd have Catherine, Katherine, or Kathleen to fall back on.

It's dated as a nn. As a given name it's just awful.

As a nickname, it's fine. I prefer just Catherine, though, personally.
