[Opinions] That's how I pronounce it...

And it's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced. I don't think people would assume it's Kathryn and even if they did it might be because that's the spelling they're familiar with.

Yeah. Personally, I'd never assume "Kathryn" for a baby or small child. Kathryn is a very middle-aged sort of name to me. I'm not sure if it's like that for other people, but I think that spelling is dated enough that people won't think that it's the name of a little kid.

ditto

Catherine, Katherine, Katharine, and Kathryn all have identical pronunciations where I'm from.
