I love [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lux[/name_f] with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is the perfect name to go crazy in the middle and use names that are a bit too “out there” to put as a first. Some of my favorites:
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Moxie[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Nike[/name_u]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Zsa[/name_f] [name_f]Zsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Uma[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Muse[/name_f]
They may be a bit too far out there for what you’re looking for, but I hope it’s on the right track!
I think [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is one of the nicer classics, (as long as it isn’t shortened to [name_f]Cathy[/name_f], which is NMS.) I think it pairs well with really out-there middle names—[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Zola[/name_u] is one that comes to mind from the “names that make you go WOW” thread. I also like double barrel names with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] as the second name, like the [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]-[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. Something like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]-[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]May[/name_f]-[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be pretty.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is one of my favourite classics ever so I don’t think it’s boring. I love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] and [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f], but slightly prefer [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f].
