Help[Opinions] Re: Catherine, Katherine and Kathryn (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I have really never been a fan of Katherine (+ variants) though a couple of years ago Kate entered my Top Ten and continues to hover around my long girls list.
Not sure what it is about Katherine etc that I dislike; maybe it is the blandness as you've hinted at. I went to school with a few - usually spelt Katherine but there was one or two Catherines I think. None of them went by Kitty but Cathy and Katie were used in equal proportions - one girl solely went by the full version.
My friend's older sister was named Kathryn so I always associated that spelling with people born in the late 80s rather than 90s (my decade).
To rank:
Katherine
Catherine
Kathryn
Katharine (this looks so odd to me)
And nicknames:
Kate
full name
Katie
Kitty
