Re: Catherine, Katherine and Kathryn (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like the name. My preference for spelling is Katherine and then Catherine. Kathryn and Katharine are significantly behind. Kathryn doesn't look nice to me and it seems dated and less timeless than the others. Katharine brings to mind Hepburn and also makes me think someone made a typo.
My best friend texted me the other day about a name idea for her baby and asked, "What full name would I use to get 'Kit' for a girl?" I told her a variant of Katherine and she was far less enthusiastic. It was so overused where we went to school- we had 7 in our graduating class of like 140 people- so I guess she and others are read for a break from it.
My cousin, Katherine, goes by Kat. I think that's my favorite nickname. I also don't mind Kate but the rest don't do much for me.
