Help[Opinions] Re: Catherine / Katherine
in reply to a message by NobodyOfConsequence
My preferred version is Katharine, closely followed by Catherine. I would use either as a mn, precisely because of the nn issue. First there were edge-to-edge Cathy people, then came the Kate outbreak, then various forms of Caitlyn ... what next? I love Kitty, but not if there would be 11 000 000 other ones, jostling for position. And I don't enjoy Rina at all; it might never happen, but then again, it might.

I agree with you in some points: Katharine is such a beautiful name, while Rina is horrible and elderly. But I don't appreciate a lot Kitty, because it's too childish and I would never use it as a forename.
Other forms I like are Katherine, Cathy, the Italian variant Caterina and the Spanish variant Catalina.
