Which is better...

Katherine

or

Katelynn

Both would have the nn's Katie and Kate.

Kathleen since that's my name.

KATHERINE.

Katelynn is trendy and looks like a little girl's names; Katherine is timeless and works on an adult as well as a child.

I like Katelynn but spelled either Kaitlyn or Caitlin.

Katelynn. But just not spelt like that!

Definitely Katherine. I don't mind Caitlin, but no one's going to be able to spell Katelynn.

I prefer Katherine.

I think Katelynn. I have a little sister named Kathryn, and the only nn's she (and her best friend, Katherine) go by is Kat. It's probably just their preferences, but I couldn't imagine calling someone named Katherine "Kate" or "Katie".

Well...I'd prefer Katherine if it was spelled Catherine, and Katelynn if it was spelled Caitlin. I like both though honestly if I'm judging by sound alone.

Kaitlyn or Kathryn! Haha. My names Kate :)

Definitely Katherine, and that's my preferred spelling of it as well.

I don't mind Katelynn, but not spelled like that.

As a Katherine, I vote Katherine times a kajillion. Katelynn/Caitlin/Kayetlynnee is dated, boring and trendy.

I like Kaitlyn.

Katherine, totally! I only like Katelynn when it's spelled "Caitlin."

Katherine! I'm personally biased toward Catherine (see icon) but Katherine and Katharine are both legitimate, lovely spellings.

Caitlin is nice too. NOT Katelynn!
