Pros and cons? Is one harder to spell? Is it harder for a Catherine to be Katie? What about Katharine or Katherine or Cathryn even?

I love this name, I really think it's beautiful. My preference is Katherine.

I like Catherine. Don't know why, just do.

I would go with Katherine or Catherine.

The Duchess of Cambridge is a Catherine with a C and known as Kate.

How are they pronounced the same? One has three syllables, the other has two.

I like Catherine personally. I don’t like Kathryn. Weird really as they’re pronounced the same!

We decided for our dd that we would spell it the same as Katharine Hepburn.

Against not again, sorry.

Got to go again@PrincessesRUs her (sorry!) but I'm a Katharine and my DM always said when she was choosing the spelling she went with the rule K with 2 a's C with 2 e's. But I also think the non traditional spellings with y look pretty.

I think it's the most obvious spelling, once I've confirmed it's with a K everyone knows how to spell it!!

PrincessesRUs · 03/06/2022 22:19

I'm biased - I'm Katherine - obviously think it's by far the best!!
