Help[Opinions] Re: Kathryn
in reply to a message by Amandine
Kathryn feels almost (aaaalmost) refreshingly retro after the widespread popularity of Kaitlyn and Katherine. There's something clumsily endearing about Kathryn, in the same vein as Jayne or Bettye. It feels more approachable and human than Katherine/Catherine/Katharine.
I know some Kathryns that are around my age and a bit younger (so early 40s, mid-late 30s). It's possible that I know older Kathryns but they all go by Kathy. The name Kathryn makes me think of the 1960s, 70s, and 90s.
Kat feels like a particularly fitting nickname for a Kathryn. There is something sharp and fashionably no-nonsense about Kathryn, and Kate, Katie, Kathy and Kitty don't fit that vibe. Kat does.
