I wouldn't count Charles (it doesn't resemble Catherine to me apart from being royalty and a saint, so I might as well say Edward, if that's what I'm going for). There's Constantine / Konstantin maybe, or Conrad, Cassian, Caspar might be a stretch, if they were widely popular, but they've not been really. Or any saint with a masculine C name like Camillus, Cosmas, Cyril, Claude, but those don't seem much like Catherine to me either. So IMV that just leaves Christopher...in terms of vibe, diversity of forms/spellings, origin, intention, sharing a nickname, each of them having at least one very common nickname, and sound/rhythm. I'd still possibly pick Katriel / Katrell over it, but that's not like Catherine exactly, more like Catrinel / Katell.

Maybe I'm confused by your question. Do you mean like.... What are some males names starting in C or K that have "Catherine like" energy in terms of being classic, conservative, etc?
