HelpRe: Anna vs Katherine
in reply to a message by Lily
Kathy is not inevitable. I'd use Katherine if I wanted Kate. I like the spelling Katharine too and wouldn't hesitate to use it if I wanted to.
Anna isn't underused, and isn't really "plain" seeming to me. It's a little bit forgettable, but so is Kate.
Both names are warm and dignified. Anna seems more grown-up than Kate, Kate seems more happy-go-lucky, and that is the main difference to me. Kate can go by Katharine, though, so it doesn't really suffer from childishness.
I slightly prefer Anna because it seems less flighty & "prettygirly" than Kate, and more modest than Katharine. I feel like it's more down-to-earth. But I'm not negative about Katharine/Kate; Anna is just more my style.
