I prefer the look of
Katharine but she will be spelling it her whole life and people will skim over pages and assume it is the
Katherine spelling. I don't find the
Katherine spelling plain- it is common but that is just because it is the classic spelling and there is nothing wrong with that. Actually, you know what? All
Katherine /
Katharine /
Kathryn /

Cathryn 's have to spell their name all the time regardless of whether it is the traditional spelling or not. It is a bit like my name in that way. And because of that I will vote for
Katharine- because it is so old Hollywood and
Katharine Alice Ophelia looks delightful when written out.
By the way,
Charlotte Aloisia Mary is gorgeous :)
