Catherine?

[KateTTC123]

Is it too old fashioned? I like Cat and Cate but not Cath and Cathy.

I really like it! I know a Katheryn which I think is pretty too. I like Cat and Cate

Love it. Lots of lovely nicknames.

It's beautiful.

Gorgeous and so classy

Lovely, and Katie is a good shortening of it.

(When I was a kid my gran called all of us grandkids Katie - none of us were called that though, it was just a nice term of affection!)

Lovely

Yes I love it. I like kitty as a shortening too.

Love Catherine.
Caroline is lovely too.

I love it. I wanted it for my dd, shortening it to cassie.
When she was born she just looked so loke the name my dh choose there was no question that she wasn't going to be cassie 😥

Really beautiful. I wasn’t keen on Cathy till I read Wuthering Heights! Love Cat and Cath. And the very cool Cate.

I prefer it with K but otherwise yes - lovely

Catherine is one of a small group of girl's names that are classic I think - ie never dated, enduring through centuries... So while some nns and some spellings might go in and out of fashion (eg Kath and Kathryn seem dated,) the name itself doesn't date. Kitty is a current nn, and Cate is smart. I also like Katharine spelling. Lovely choice!

The best name, and best spelling OP. I may be biased!

Catherine is nice as are nicknames Cat and Cathy.

I really love it. Much prefer it spelt Katherine or Katharine though. Love Kitty as a nickname as well

The problem will be the inevitable spelling out.

It's a beautiful name but prefer the spelling Katharine.

I love it. And I know a very lovely Catherine so I associate the name with all good things.

Timeless

I don't like Cate.

It's a beautiful timeless name. One of my favourites.

Lovely, classic name.

Lovely name, but I think if you want to use Kate, you need to spell the full name with a 'K'.

Kate Middleton is a Catherine with a C. It wouldn’t need to be Cate.

Love nicknames Cat or Cassie

I like it.
