Pronouncing Katherine

[YogiYogiBear]

How would you pronounce Katherine?
Kath-ur-rine or Kath-rinn

I prefer the pronunciation Kath-rinn but not sure if the Katherine spelling is right for that.

I much prefer the Catherine spelling. I don’t like the Kathryn spelling.
Me neither. It seems a bit 1960s.
I think Cathy is due a comeback.

I like Katherine and Katharine.

Mainly, I pronounce Katherine and Catherine the same with about 2.5 syllables: Kath'er'in - Being from the US, I pronounce R but that middle syllable is swallowed a bit. And that's true amongst my southern UK rellies who named her.
With other spellings, I am more careful to say what is spelled so Kathryn = Kath-rin or Cathrine/Katrine as per the French. I've learned that Catriona/Katronia is pronounced Ka treen' ah but I think of it as Ka tree oh nah.

Cat ree oh na is fairly common in Scotland, or certainly what some Catrionas choose to be called.

In terms of gaslighting, try telling someone younger that Caitlin / Kaitlin is the same pronunciation as Kathleen. They swear blind it was never so!

Cayth rine
