Re: Is it okay to pronounce it this way?
in reply to a message by Antique_Cherub (nsi)
Kathryn is like Steven and Debra: it was invented to bring the spelling into line with the way people pronounce Catherine, Stephen and Deborah! As for people thinking that Catherine is Kathryn, they might well also wonder if it's Katharine, Katherine, Catharine ... all you need to do is tell them. They'll cope.
