I hoped it was going to be this, as the only IMO legitimate name with lots of spellings!

Catherine or Katherine. Agree with Fellatio that Katharine causes more problems than all the other combos.

FetaCheeny · 27/06/2013 08:35

Katharine!

BabyStone · 27/06/2013 04:58

Catherine

TheRealFellatio · 27/06/2013 04:55

Catherine or Katherine equally. Avoid Katharine - everyone will get it wrong.

TigerSwallowTail · 27/06/2013 04:31

Kathryn.

Katharine, like Hepburn, the greatest Katherine of all time. And I'm Catherine.

Katharine

Catherine, because it's the most common in England, and it'll save a lifetime of having to spell it out. Well. It'll reduce it a bit, anyway.

Katherine

I prefer the K to the C. I like the nn Kitty, Kate, Katie, Kat. Not keen on Cath, Cathy, Cat (quite like Cate though).

AgnesBligg · 27/06/2013 01:41

Catherine.

wannabeawallaby · 27/06/2013 01:39

Catherine.

SucksFake · 27/06/2013 01:29

I knew this was going to be about this name

Catherine. DD's name. For some reason the K spelling looks 'hard' to me. No idea why.

TrucksAndDinosaurs · 27/06/2013 01:26

Catherine because nn Cat.
