Most Katherines are not called
Kathy anymore. They're called
Kate or
Katie (along with Kathleens and Caitlins of every spelling). If you're looking for less common, I think there would actually be less Kathys today. (BTW, my firstborn is named
Katherine ("
Kate") and trust me when I tell you that Katies and Kates abound.) WDYT of
Kitty or
Kit?
Kat? I even went to school with a girl named
Kathryn ("Khaki") which is sort of different.
Anna is the name of my youngest. It's a little plain for me (dh chose it), however, I do like it. Still, I like the nns
Annie or
Annika much better. It's classic but I wouldn't call it underused.
