I'm warming up to Katherine a lot recently.

I haven't liked it for awhile...I wanted to use Katherine / Katharine when I was 12 with the nickname "Katie". Now I'm thinking of using it more as a middle name.

WDYT? Which nicknames for Katherine would you use, or would you use it without one? WDYTO the combos Agnes Katherine, Agnes Katherine Ophelia and Sarah Agnes Katherine?

I love Katherine but if I named my daughter it her nickname would be Kat or maybe Kitty besides just going by Katherine. Can't stand Katie/Katy/Kate, I've known too many annoying ones. For some reason I don't mind Cate with a C though. I don't like Catherine enough to use it however.

I like Katherine nn Kitty.

All of those combos are nice, but Sarah Agnes Katherine is amazing! I love it!

I prefer Catherine to both Katherine and Katharine, and I strongly dislike Katie.

Agnes Katherine Ophelia is wonderful.

I really love Katherine, though spelled Catherine. We are considering using this for one of our twins, due this August. She would be known as Kitty, as we aren't really fond of any of the other nicknames. I am partial to Cathy, though. :D

I like Agnes Catherine and Agnes Catherine Ophelia, though they are fine with the 'K' as well. I just find the 'K' to be a bit harsh. Overall, nice combos!

Agnes Katherine Ophelia is beautiful. Katherine nn Kate is nice and so is Katherine nn Kitty.
