Help[Opinions] Katherine vs. Katharine
Katherine / Katharine / Catherine is one of those names that I just can't decide on as I'm not sure which version I like.
Currently I'm trying to figure out whether I like Katherine Alice Ophelia "Kate" or Katharine Alice Ophelia "Kate" more, to go with Charlotte Aloisia Mary (thus why I can't use Catherine "Cat").
Katherine is the original spelling (something I tend to respect), and is the most common form of the name.
Katharine is a variant, but it seems to have more of an old-fashioned charm to me than Katherine (perhaps of Katharine Hepburn?). Katherine seems average and plain, while Katharine seems more lively as it isn't as common (there are tons of Katherines at my school!). Yet, I've heard of Katharine who have their names spelled as Katherine.
So, which do you prefer: Katherine or Katharine?
