I know loads by this name...it's one of the most popular in my German class, and in extension my school. I don't know how often I see that spelling, but I see Katherine quite a bit, all going by various names...I even know one who goes by Kit-Kat because of the alliteration of her first and last name! Catherine is my favorite spelling because it's the variation that most befits a queen. Katherine is trendy because of the K, so that's a turnoff, and Kathryn is nice too although looks like a variant.
Yeah, I like the nickname Cathy too. It makes me think of the song Cathy's Clown, by the Everly Brothers.
Yeah, I know. Names like this are leaving the top 100 all the time now. It's sad because some of these names are absolutely beautiful. Mary? I love Mary! Does this mean that my name, Elizabeth, the most common name of all history will fall out eventually too? My favorite names have long since fallen out; Martha, Dorothy, Edward, Frederick, Lawrence...we are losing our identity here!
