[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]! [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], maybe even the more out-there [name_f]Katherina[/name_f]/Kathrina? (Although then, knowing me, I’d call her [name_f]Rina[/name_f].) What are your thoughts?
ETA: Also, everyone, I just realized that it rhymes with my surname. Sorry!
I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] for whatever reason.
I’d probably rather [name_f]Katerina[/name_f](though ideally I think I prefer [name_f]Catarina[/name_f]) than [name_f]Katherina[/name_f]/Kathrina.
I really like [name_f]Kate[/name_f]/Cate. It’s a great name and I wish I saw it more on NB.
I think both spellings are nice and you should use whichever matches the way the full name is spelled. I personally love [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but [name_f]Katherina[/name_f] and Kathrina are also great full names for [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I think anything in the [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] family could be a good full name.
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Cate[/name_f] are my preferred spellings.
It’s not a bad name, just a bit bland in my opinion. I prefer [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Rin[/name_f] and [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] as nicknames to [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
I was actually just thinking of [name_f]Cate[/name_f]! I like it much better with a C. It looks softer and more elegant to me! The only thing is that it may get misspelled, but I don’t think it would be too big of a hassle to just say “[name_f]Kate[/name_f] with a C.” I like it as a nn for [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]!
I prefer [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] to [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] to [name_f]Cate[/name_f], because [name_f]Cate[/name_f] might frequently have to be explained that it’s with a C instead of a K.
I like [name_f]Kate[/name_f] for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f].
When I see [name_f]Cate[/name_f], I always pronounce it as “[name_f]Cat[/name_f]”. Its just how I see it.
If you use [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], I’d probably just the nn [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] or [name_f]Cat[/name_f]. Very retro and uncommon
