Personally I don’t really like this name because there was a lady named this from my neighborhood who yelled at my brother and I for no reason and is a Karen. Plus, it’s an old person name. I do know one young Cathy, and she’s nice but Kate and Katie are better nicknames for Katherine/Catherine. Don’t pick this name for your child. Cathryn is also a good option btw.

I think it's important for people to know people's impressions of a name because it might make them change the name for their child. Cathy's come in a wide variety but everyone I've met could be classified first and foremost as unhappy with a quick temper.

Cathy was given to 56 baby girls born in the US in 2012 as a full name.
I am going to disagree with the majority and say that I love the name Cathy. Katie is so common. I think Cathy is a very sweet name. I don't think it is outdated at all compared to the top baby names on the list.
I use this name as a name for a little girl, a fictional character. Because of the fact that I developed her before I named her, this brings to mind [for me] a 6 or 7 year old girl with golden curls and watery blue eyes, and a pretty smile, shy but not necessarily unable to speak up. Except I spell it "Cathie". It fits Little Cathie that way, a lot better!

This is my sister's name, and I've always felt sorry for her, because it doesn't quite sound like a real name, more like just a nickname.
