[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anything but Kathryn. That’s so low class.[/quote] Kathryn originated in my Polish immigrant family when Americans couldn't be bothered to correctly pronounce Katarzyna. Nice to know that 50 years later the class judgement is still holding strong.[/quote] My aunt's name is spelled Kathryn for a similar reason - my grandmother is from Austria and if the name was spelled Katherine/Catherine it would be pronounced with four syllables in German and my grandparents wanted my father & aunts' names to be pronounced (sort of) the same in both English & German.
