Kerensa /Kerenza or Katharine

[lizzielu]

What do you think of the girl's name Kerensa/Kerenza (can't decide on the spelling)? I know this is a Cornish name (meaning - love) but was wondering if it was still popular in Cornwall or is it considered old fashioned/common?
It will be either this or Katharine, I just can't decide.

Catherine.

Katherine for me lol.

Katharine is my real name, with the K and the A!

Nice unusual name, Kerensa/za.

V few Katharines around my way these days, shame, tis nice name.

I like them all, which is no help, sorry!

Im a catherine, agree with wandering I only know of 4 others!

another one here, mine is spelt Katherine though!

i'm a katharine with that spelling and have spent my entire life correcting it. i also think it is rather dull (sorry noonoo)

never heard Kerenza before but I do like it

I love Katherine shortened to Kitty or Kate

I grew up as Kate / Katie, but reverted back to Katharine when I grew up!

My sis is a Katharine, I'm sure it must be a pain with the more unusual spelling but hey ho - such is life!

Carenza I know from Time Team early days, one of their top archeologists was Carenza Lewis. Lovely name and gorgeous lady.

I quite like Carenza with a C but not keen on the spellings you list. Reminds me of the archaeologist Carenza Lewis from Time Team ... which may not be quite the image you're looking for!

Katherine

Katherine but with the e not the a.

I think both are nice - Karenza more unusual (the only one I know of it the archaeologist).

Califrau, is it pronounced the same as the name (I don't know Italian)? This has given me something to think about!!

I was thinking of Katharine with a K just in case we end up shortening it to Katie. But we probably won't as we named DD1 Elizabeth with the intention of shortening it to Libby but we just got used to calling her the full name Elizabeth and never did shorten it.
In my book of Celtic names Karensa/za is spelt with K - haven't seen it listed with a C before, just as well because of the Italian meaning.

Katherine

i am a kath which adds to the general dullness. there is something very sturdy about that name.

and it it quite hard to write so my signature is irritating to do.

so many things to think about in names

Katharine, defo.
