I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
Personally I prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
I strongly prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. To me, [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] seems like the Americanized way, but is still a pretty spelling. I think [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as short for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is totally acceptable. The very famous [name_f]Kate[/name_f] Middleton/Duchess of Cambridge spells her nickname as [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and first name as [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]!
I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but with all the K nicknames out there like [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], I prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], if that makes any sense at all.
I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] as an overall stand alone name. I prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] if you like nicknames. I love [name_f]Kate[/name_f], so I like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] in the end.
I agree with this - [name_f]IMO[/name_f] If you’re wanting to call her by the full name and deter the use of nicknames then [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] works better, but [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] lends itself to more nicknames more easily.
[name_f]Catherin[/name_f],[name_f]Catheryn[/name_f],[name_f]Cate[/name_f] for nn.
I prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. The K looks elegant and cold and reminds me of snow and winter which I love. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] looks warmer to me and I don’t like when I am too warm so I don’t like that spelling.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] by far.
I prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I think the ‘K’ in [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] makes it look sharper, while ‘C’ makes the name softer. There both fine, it depends on the effect you are going for.
My favourite is actually [name_f]Katharine[/name_f]. After that, I think it’s [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
For years I used to prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] (to the point where I honestly didn’t like ANY other spelling), but in the past week or two I’m super crushing on [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]! I think she’s so gorgeous. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is still nice, but I’m definitely preferring [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. I vastly prefer [name_f]Cate[/name_f] to [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but if a [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] can be [name_f]Kate[/name_f], I don’t know why a [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] couldn’t be [name_f]Cate[/name_f], too? I also love [name_u]Kit[/name_u] for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Catherine[/name_f], too.
Good luck!
I much prefer [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], even though [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is the older and original spelling. I think that [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is the more popular of the two spellings, and I generally like the more popular spelling of a name. I used the [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] spelling for my own daughter, even though I never nicknamed her [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Katie[/name_f]. She always went by [name_f]Katherine[/name_f].) I like the way the name looks when it is written and printed out with a “K.” I also think it is more fun to write in script with a “K.” Personally, I think the “K” spelling seems more friendly and approachable and the “C” spelling seems more formal.
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]!
I would love to see a pole with all the variations… [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], etc

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] was the original spelling, as comes from the Greek name [name_f]Aikaterine[/name_f]?
That said, I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], I usually prefer C forms over K forms.
one of my main crushes in school was a girl called [name_f]catherine[/name_f], nn [name_f]katie[/name_f]. so the ‘c’ to ‘k’ jump doesn’t bother me at all!! the ‘c’ spelling is my favorite, followed closely by [name_f]katharine[/name_f] with the two 'a’s
Always preferred [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], I feel it gives less of a “feminine” aspect to it, more like a stronger independence to a woman. [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is delicate and sweet but [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] just seems bad-ass and would suit more to today’s type of women.
We used [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] for our daughter (mostly because I wanted [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and not [name_f]Cate[/name_f]) and my mom is [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] so I love both the C and the K versions.
