Help[Opinions] Katherine or Catharine
in reply to a message by Siri
I prefer the spelling K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E. Call me picky, but I read An Abundance of Katherines and cannot see it spelled any other way. Besides I have an Aunt Katherine.
I must confess I absolutely hate it with an A after the H. I don't know why, but it bothers me to no end. I don't really like it with a C either, but I can stand it. It's better than the ending -ryn at least.
So out of your choices, I'd say Catharine May. (Catria is pretty too, though.)
May is okay, but it's sort of a filler. People in her class might call her "Catty Mae" unintentionally, trying to be funny. (My classmates used to call our band director "Reggie Mae" -- or "Fergie.") And then one day they would find out her middle name actually was May.
