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.

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.

Your post does not negate my opinion that two a's looks prettier than the e spelling.

My best friend's name is KathArine. And she's awesome, as is Katharine Hepburn. So clearly that's the way to go.

My DD is a Catherine (family name, standard spelling in spouse's culture) and I'm finding the strong opinions here amusing!

Ha, love this. I didn't realized Katharine Hepburn spelled her name that way, and I really like it.

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.

There is no American standard!!!!!

Correct. I have known Americans with every variant listed on this thread. I personally like all of the K versions, the C is a little more plain imo.
