Catherine, Katherine, Catharine, Katharine, Kathryn or Cathryn?

Which do you prefer? Any specific reason?

I'm partial to Katherine, Katharine, and Catherine. I prefer traditional spellings like Katherine and Catherine but I also think Katharine is beautiful. I gravitate towards names beginning with K because my name begins with a K.

Great choice on a name no matter what, though. I've always loved the name Katherine.

Katharine is just as classic of a spelling. That Henry with all the wives, there were 3 or 4 katherine's right? They all had a different spelling.
And I have ancestors from the early 19th century who spelled it with a K and an A. and so did my mommmy when she named me, but she did it for Katharine Hepburn!

Henry VIII of England was the one with all the wives. And yes, there were 3 Catherines. Catherine of Aragon (although, I imagine her parents would have used the Spanish), Kathryn (Katherine) Howard (I read somewhere that's how she signed her name) and Catherine Parr (I've seen hers written with C and with K).

There were also two Annes and a Jane. ^^

Personally, I like Katherine or Kathryn.
