Catherine / Katherine
Opinions?I didn't use to care much for this name, then I went through a period of really appreciating it and the nicknames that go along with it. Now I've lost that love and I'm back to being indifferent to Catherine / Katherine. Just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are =)

KathrynI like the name best in full. If I had to choose a nickname, I'd probably go with Kitty. Most of the others have been used so much more. I once favored Catherine. But my current favorite spelling is Kathryn.

I don't like Catherine, but I love Katherine and the NN Kitty. The K makes the name feel more alive.

I like it, and prefer Catherine, it’s rounder and softer.

My mom's name is Catherine, with a C. I prefer it to Katherine, with a K. It just looks more elegant with a C.

My favourite form of this name is Katharine, but after that I like Catherine, it seems softer, kinder. Katherine is so beige and cold to me, like a stucco wall. But in general, I never think about this name.

My preferred version is Katharine, closely followed by Catherine. I would use either as a mn, precisely because of the nn issue. First there were edge-to-edge Cathy people, then came the Kate outbreak, then various forms of Caitlyn ... what next? I love Kitty, but not if there would be 11 000 000 other ones, jostling for position. And I don't enjoy Rina at all; it might never happen, but then again, it might.

I agree with you in some points: Katharine is such a beautiful name, while Rina is horrible and elderly. But I don't appreciate a lot Kitty, because it's too childish and I would never use it as a forename.
Other forms I like are Katherine, Cathy, the Italian variant Caterina and the Spanish variant Catalina.
