| Why too? Because I like phonetic names, no need for the or Cs, K is a K. |

Huh? The first part of your post-- obviously this thread shows that people have reasons for their preferences. Second part- so you do not like C because there is such a thing as a soft C? You are afraid people who pronounce it Satherine? Plus, wouldn't that phonetically be a long i ? I guess you are saying the spelling you prefer Kathryn? |

To each her/his own. I prefer the -yn names. They just look better to me. - ine looks bland. I like the name Carolyn, too btw. |

The C has more of a west European bent — not more traditional unless that’s where your roots are. K is traditional in my family and I have a couple hundred years of records to prove it. I prefer Katherine BTW. |

Because there is no K sound associated with the C letter in my language, it is a ts |

Which Western European countries spell it so much with a C? Apart in English and a couple of Dutch versions? |

Most of the countries that use the name spell it with a K. |

Also, stop being so challenged. Almost no other country in the world pronounces C as a St. What English you have, you stole from the French, and your think you know how to pronounce C?
But, you keep thinking France and England are the world! |

Lol I have a Katherine with a K for that reason. I lost the argument with DH over other DD’s middle name Ann though, sadly. |

| So 2 syllables or 3? This is very controversial. |
