[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] though I spell it with a K intuitively, not sure why just always have, I’ve considered using it, family member beat me to it 
I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. It is a very regal name. I do know a lovely, gracious young woman who goes by [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. No one calls her by a nickname, though I have never heard her forbid or even discourage it.
I like it with a K or a C, both are lovely. I dislike it spelled with a Y (like [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f].) I like most of the nicknames, except for [name_f]Kathy[/name_f] and Kath. But I like [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Cate[/name_f], and [name_f]Trina[/name_f].
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] seems very much equivalent to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for me- a timeless classic. It is much more regal than [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. I do know people that use the K spelling though to make sure the nickname [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is used - [name_f]Kathy[/name_f] Or [name_f]Cathy[/name_f] was pretty overdone for a while and seems to be in the same category as [name_f]Patty[/name_f]… Not ready for a comeback.
I really like the nickname [name_f]Cat[/name_f] with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
I really like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], it’s elegant, timeless and classic.
My sister-in-law was born [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but has gone by her middle name since she was 12, as in her words “I was fed up with being one of a zillion girls named [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] at school.” Everyone calls her [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Cat[/name_f] (which I love), and to be honest, I’m not sure why she has never applied to legally change it.
Great name.
I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], spelled this way, as it is my daughter’s middle name. I find it timeless, classic and elegant.
Thank you everyone, for the insight! I’m glad the name [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is still well-received. I’m writing a story where there is a young lady (age 20/21) named [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. She’s my MC’s daughter. Apparently I’m still one of the few who finds the nickname [name_f]Cathy[/name_f] more charming than the others. [name_f]Trina[/name_f] is probably the one I hate the most.
So far, every when comments on [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] being a classic, like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but few seem to consider it all that attractive. Why?
I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] with a C, and in her full form.
@beasobreira: I actually think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is very attractive. I am surprised you have found the opposite reaction from others!
I totally agree! I much prefer it with a C over a K and it is very beautiful. I find it transcends time very well! That’s my opinion! It’s a wonderful name.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is a classic and I think it’s a great name. I also prefer it spelled with a C! 
If I ever have a girl, this will be her name
I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]! It’s on my own list, as well. I think a lot of people here might find it dated for all the Katherines/Katies from my generation, and even the Kathryns/Catherines/Katherines from the 60s or so. But it’s such a classic, gorgeous name, and the nns are what make it so versatile! I think just [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is fantastic, but the nns are great, too. If I had a little [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], I’d probably call her [name_u]Kit[/name_u], but I could also see me with a [name_f]Cate[/name_f] or a [name_u]Wren[/name_u] instead. I’ve had a hard time finding a combo I like, but I’m rather happy with my combo right now ([name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Orchid[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]!), and I think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]'s so easy to dress up. I love her.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is very pretty! My number one “classic” name… and I do prefer it with a C.
I like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]! I actually prefer with a C as well, even though my name is [name_f]Katie[/name_f] haha. I often wish my name were [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Katherine[/name_f].
