I like
Catherine. It feels softer & more classic than
Katherine. I do find
Cathy very dated though.
I know a
Cathy (not sure if her full name is just
Cathy or not) who is in her 50's, a
Cathy (I think short for
Catherine but maybe
Cathleen) who is in her 40's and a
Catherine who goes by Catie who is about 30.
Most
Katherine's (or any K variant) I know go by
Kate or
Katie (maybe about 10) but 2 go by
Katherine, both are about 30, and one goes by Kathy-she is 25. And I have always thought
Kathy sounded dated on her.
