Like jj2jj, I love the spelling
Katherine. It's the way my Aunt's name is spelled.
Katharine is my 3rd favorite.
Katherine,
Catherine,
Katharine,
Catharine, Kathryn....in that order. I suppose any
Katherine would be fine with me.....except maybe the -ryn spelling. That one sort of bothers me.
I think it depends. You could say KATH-rine or KATH-ER-RINE. I personally like the second way.
I live in
Georgia, USA.
