Answer 1

I think is great, elegant and aristocratic as it reminds me of a Russian princess.
You can also have so many nicknames!!! BTW this is my sister's name (and we call her Keti), so I will always love this name.
Both your names are beautiful, I think your parents did a great job picking them.
Enjoy them as they are or think of a nickname you would like to have. But I honestly think that Katherine is just beautiful

Answer 2

it's lovely, elegant , been around for centuries. There have been Princess Katherine's Queens named Katharine. It is a wonderful name, congratulate your parents on such excellent taste

You know a person's developmental years 4 - 18, cutsie names are popular but Katherine will be an elegant beautiful name long afer you're worried about what to be called in high school. It will give you stature and regality all throughout life, so ignore Kitty, Katie , Kathy, Katter, Kutsie, Keekee people, your name gives you wider horizons. Remember this exit line, if you're mad at someone, say "the name is Katy to my my friends, but you can call me Katherine"

Answer 3

When I hear the name "Katherine" ... I instantly think of "Katherine the Great." Honestly.

I think Katherine is a wonderful name. You can keep it as Katherine, or you can use Kathy. Or, you can use Katy. Or, you can even use Kitty. Or, you can go even further, and be very imaginative and use Kit-Kat, if you don't mind people associating you with a candy bar. [grin]

Katherine, depending on what your middle name is, can go a long way!

Cherish your name! Your parents thought long and hard to give you that name. I adore it!

Answer 4

The girl's name Katherine \k(a)-theri-ne, kath(e)-rine\ is pronounced KATH-rin, KATH-er-rin. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "pure". From the word "katharos". A name in use since at least the third century AD. The early Latin forms Katerina and Caterina became Katharine and Catherine. The French Cateline and English Catlyn came into wider use during the medieval period, and variant spellings and forms were endless. It has been borne by illustrious women such as Saint Catherine of Alexandria, an early martyr; Empress Catherine the Great of Russia; and three of Henry VIII's six wives. Preference in modern times is for the K- spelling, which is closest to the original Greek versions.

BTW its a beautiful name.....

Answer 5

My name is Catherine. I was named after my grandmother & it wasn't until it was too late that my parents realized my name was misspelled on my birth certiicate...it should of been Katherine. So I guess Katherine with a "k" is a pretty cool name :)

Answer 6

When I think of the name Katherine, I think of a very wealthy person. Possibly stuck up. Someone who is at least in their mid 20's. It is a pretty name though.

Answer 7

Well a girl in one of my classes last year was named Katherine, she was shy, nice, and she was a great hockey player.

Answer 8

A nice traditional English name.

From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans associated it with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.
The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. Another saint by this name was Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century mystic. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.
