Katherine
Catherine
Katharine
Catharine,
Kathryn
Cathryn....

Catherine.

Artesia No, South East how funny!

Kathryn

I prefer Katharine or Kathryn.

I'd also stick to the full name and resist shortening to Kate/Katie but it'd be quite a job as it's invariably shortened.

Katherine.

Catherine.

Or Kaffryn

Katharine. I think it's the original spelling. Yes, I do have to spell it out but I like it

Catherine, I think it looks the nicest when written down. Possibly biased though as this is the spelling of my middle name.

Catherine. I think it looks nicer. And despite having two good friends at school called Catherine and Katherine, I always think of it being spelt the former way.

Katharine

Katharine or Katherine - I HATE the 'ryn' ending.

catherine

Catherine.

Thank you for all the replies, MirandaGoshawk 'Kaffryn' made me

Catherine.

We took it from the French, back in the day (hundreds of years ago) so that's why it is traditionally spelt that way in Britain and France. Most other cultures use a K in their versions of the name as in the original Greek.

There are many saints with the name. The most well known being Katherine/Catherine of Alexandria and Catherine of Siena. Catherine of Siena is a Doctor of the Catholic church - only given to some of the greatest saints whose theology has been groundbreaking. Her biography/life story is incredible.

DDs middle name is Katherine, we used that spelling so that her initials are the same as her dad's.

Catherine first but Katherine is fine, but not the rest.
