Agree with you about Catherine, Theodore and Edward

I love Catherine, and Cate would be my favourite but it still does nothing for me. Thus, if I used Catherine it would have to be in the mn spot. Catie's too cute, Cath's too informal, Cate isn't as preferable to Kate, and Cathy's too dated.

I really like Theodore, and though I'm iffy about Edward, all of the Edward nicknamed could apply to my prefered Edgar.

I know a Kathryn that goes by Kathryn and only Kathryn. I've never seen anyone try to shorten it either. When someone is always refered to as a name, most people tend to just use what they hear.

I agree about using what you hear. My son's name is Benjamin, which I think would fall under the category of names that people would automatically shorten, and even though we call him Ben and never Benjamin, people still ask what we call him or call him Benjamin until told otherwise.
