Date: 2006-02-26 09:23 am (UTC)Katherine feels a bit musty and dated to me. I don't know why this is, when it's probably used more and equally if not more classic, but there it is.
Catharine/Katharine just look wrong.
Cathryn/Kathryn break my no weird tryndee random Y spellings. I hate those.
Catherine makes me think of Wuthering Heights and other great literature. Also, Katherine shortens easier to Kate or Katie. As I prefer Catherine in it's full form, this seems like the spelling more likely to be left alone and not assumed to be Cate/Catie. YOu just don't see C spelling nns as much.
