[Opinions] Re: Kathrine or Kathryn?
in reply to a message by peonini
I like these spellings:
Catherine, Catheryn, Cathryn, Cathrin, Cathrine, Katherine, Katheryn, Kathryn, Kathrin, and Kathrine.
I dislike the spellings Catharine and Katharine.
I will add that the spellings Cathrine and Kathrine make me feel uncertain about the pronunciation. I would be uncertain if it was KATH-rin or KATH-reen.
Today my favorite spellings are probably Cathryn and Kathryn. I've known many nice people named Kathryn with that spelling. My favorite science teacher Kathryn Kelsey, an adorable little girl who had a cowboy alter ego called Johnny of the West, and then fictional character Kathryn Janeway.
I like both the C and the K spellings, the C spellings are blonde and the K spellings are redheads or auburn haired. The C spellings have more of an elegant and classic vibe while the K spellings feel more feisty and laid back/ casual.
Also I dislike when Katie and Kate are nn's for C spellings even though it is traditional I would rather spell them Catie and Cate.
