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

Which do you prefer? Any specific reason?

Katherine, although I don't mind Catherine either. Just prefer the K for some reason.

I agree with what some others have said about not pronouncing it with three syllables, but Cathryn/Kathryn just looks odd to me.

Everyone I've known with the name spelled it Cathryn, which, ironically, is my least favourite spelling of it.

Kinda funny though, when I think of what someone with the name might be like, each spelling brings to mind a different personality type.
