Strooong preference for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
I have a cousin named [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] however I do prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] I feel that this spelling is very elegant with this sweet regality attached to her. Sheās just gorgeous. Both are wonderful.
Also biased and completely agree
Another strong preference for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] here! I think partially I prefer the K because so many of the nameās nicknames are more commonly spelled with K. [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_u]Kitty[/name_u], [name_u]Kay[/name_u], etc.
I actually prefer [name_f]Katharine[/name_f]
Iām a bit conflicted because in theory I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] (I donāt really like K names in general) BUT I prefer [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Katie[/name_f] so I voted for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] as a whole.
i think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] looks cleaner
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] looks more feminine and fresh to me. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] seems a little tomboyish and pretty old fashioned, in my opinion.
Haha I say [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] for a first name [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] for a middle name. Is that weird? Thats just how I think of it
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] for me. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is a ālittle black dressā name IMO - super versatile across ages and personality types. To me the K gives it a lot more energy - I find [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] looks really sedate, bordering on dull.
Strongly prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]! It seems classier. I think [name_f]Cate[/name_f] is fresher as a nickname too.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] feels a little fresher to me. āKā names were just a little over done and feel a little dated
I prefer the softer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] was my grandmotherās name so naturally thatās my choice!
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f], though I also like [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] as well since I have an aunt named [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]. I always go back and forth between [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] as my overall favorite. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is classic, elegant, strong-willed. [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] is fun-loving and has a bit more spice/energy.
Iām a [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] so definitely biased but I like the C when itās spelt this way and a K when itās spelt [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f].
I really like both! I think I slightly prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but would probably use [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] though, because I prefer the spelling of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Katie[/name_f] as the nickname over [name_f]Cate[/name_f] or Caty - so my vote went to [name_f]Katherine[/name_f].
By I have also really been liking [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] lately!!
catherine feels more timeless than katherine, which feels very middle-aged imo. i also prefer the typical nicknames starting with a c ā as a whole, they seem fresher than their k-starting counterparts (cathy vs kathy, cate/caty/catie vs kate/katy/katie, cat vs kat, etc)
Iām biased (like some of the above posters) but K all the way! Any ākā version is a win over the ācā version for me.
