I hate the Catherine spelling.

+1 Katherine or Katharine is more elegant.

KathArine is bad.

Katharine Graham would not agree. But it will get misspelled all the time.

I love Katharine or Katherine. Catherine is ok. Kathryn (most common among Kates/Katies i know) is not my fav.

Katharine Hepburn, too. I think the "two a" spelling is pretty.

The fact that the parents of famous women chose to spell their names a certain way does not negate my opinion that 2 As looks bad.

If you're planning to do Kate/Katie as a nn then do Katherine with a K.

Catherine called Kate doesn't make sense to me (as in Kate Middleton who apparently goes by "Catherine" in her real life).

I guess she was called Kate all the way through college then switched back when she started getting serious with William because Catherine sounds more elegant. My question is, why didn't they call her Cate then?

Catherine
Kathleen is a better choice if you want a "K"

We have multiple Catherines in the GO family.

But it seems like a lot of Irish Catholics use Katherine, Kathleen,etc.

Catherine is traditional spelling for French, while Katherine is more Russian.
No real difference here, except that Catherine is higher on the alphabetical order.

But they do.. Cate Blanchett.

Also "Coco", maybe a reach but there actually was one in my DD's class.

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.

dp But, Caro line 8is different than Caro lynn

It is like being Made [b]line versus Madeleine ( Lynn)

Екатерина in Russian.

Catherine is the standard in England.

Katherine is the standard in the US.

Prepare to have to spell it for the rest of her life if you use any variation on these.
