HelpRe: Catherine, Katherine and Kathryn (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I think it sounds plain but not boring exactly...more just kind of traditional and feminine but unfussy. I get a similar vibe from Mary / Marie / Maria.
1. Katherine or Catharine
2. Catherine or Katharine
3. various other forms, like: Katrina, Catriona, Catarina, Katerina, Kathleen
4. Kathryn
I prefer Katherine just because that's the spelling I've seen most often. Kathryn is the only one of those I dislike.
1. Kate or Cate
2. Kit
3. Cat, Kitty, Wren, Kathy, or Cathy
4. Katie
My favorite NN for it is Kate because I think it ages well, and it's sweet but adds a little sass imo. Kit seems appealing in a fun retro way.
Cat, Kitty, and Wren are okay but nms. Kathy is okay but sounds middle-aged. Katie sounds annoying or whiny to me.
