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’m a Katherine, nn Katie. I hate it Grin I’d pick Zara!

NapQueen · 24/10/2017 21:02

I prefer the spelling kathryn.

DaisyTheDeer · 24/10/2017 21:02

Katherine is old-fashioned IMO. I like Zara much more

CammieKennaway · 24/10/2017 21:03

I think Katherine is beautiful

NotNowBernard1 · 24/10/2017 21:06

Katherine. Kate not Katie.

Emelene · 24/10/2017 21:07

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

Chaffinch4 · 24/10/2017 21:07

Katherine. Beautiful name.

SuperBeagle · 24/10/2017 21:09

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

But I prefer Zara over Katie.

Castleonacloud · 24/10/2017 21:14

Another one for Katherine

Sophronia · 24/10/2017 21:23

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

MikeUniformMike · 24/10/2017 21:25

All your suggestions are great. I like Katherine aka Katie best.

Glumglowworm · 24/10/2017 21:55

Katherine

SleepingStandingUp · 24/10/2017 21:59

Zara goes better with Anna.

Beatrice?
Eugenie?

stopbeingadramallama · 24/10/2017 22:01

Katherine is horrible.

I’d pick Zara.

DramaAlpaca · 24/10/2017 22:02

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.

mamalovebird · 24/10/2017 22:04

I have a Zara. Katherine was on my list too. Both lovely but Zara won!

PrincessPlod · 24/10/2017 22:04

Zara

PandaCat · 24/10/2017 22:06

Zara

NC4now · 24/10/2017 22:10

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

LucieLucie · 24/10/2017 22:12

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

heymammy · 24/10/2017 22:13

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