Catherine or Katherine

DD has always been insistent that my bump in fact contains a kitty cat and not DC2, we haven't found out the sex but if it's a girl we've thought about C/Katherine with the nickname Kitty.

DD is Beatrice.

But don't know if we should put Catherine or Katherine on the BC... What d'ya think?

I prefer Catherine.

Katherine. Makes better sense of Kkitty, Kate, Katy etc.

Catherine :) :) :)

Katherine

Nooooo HAS to be a C. It's classic.

A K looks hard, seems to sound more hard.

You could still use Kitty with Catherine.

I second Katharine (the original spelling, apparently).

mrsnobby · 25/02/2013 19:28

Just to add to the mix I like Katharine.

Katherine doesnt look right to me, Id spell it Kathryn.

But if it was my DD I would choose Catherine - it looks prettier with a C

What about Kathryn?

bridgetsmum · 25/02/2013 17:36

We have a Catherine, much prefer it spelled with a C but don't know why Confused

Sharpkat · 25/02/2013 17:33

Definitely Katherine although I am slightly biased Wink

I prefer the K for Katherine or even Kathleen instead :)
