Considering Katherine (tbka Katie) or Zara for a baby girl. Opinions please and any other suggestions appreciated! I also like Cleo or Sophie but dh doesn't. Really like Elsa but older sister is an Anna so that's out!

I love both names, but personally I think Katherine and Anna go better together. :)

I don't like Katie but love Kate. If it was Katherine nn Kate, I'd choose that.

But I prefer Zara over Katie.

Katherine! Lovely classic underused name which goes very well with Anna.

Zara goes better with Anna.

Beatrice?
Eugenie?

Katherine is horrible.

I’d pick Zara.

I love both. You can't go wrong with either of them really.

If you really pushed me to choose, I'd say Zara. Simply because it's a short, neat name like Anna.

Katherine is my favourite name with Kitty or Kate as abbreviations.

I love both Zara and Katherine but prefer Kate or Katy rather than Katie for short.

I too have a Zara so that's my fave Wink Katherine is lovely but I wouldn't shorten it to Kate/Katie.
