[Opinions] Re: Cathleen/Kathleen
in reply to a message by Murasaki
To me it seems dated and far inferior to Catherine or Katherine. I feel that parents back in the 40s and 50s felt that a classic name such as Katherine was boring, and thought they were improving it by using the Irish form, and they were trying to improve something that needed no improvement.
Of the two, I prefer Kathleen.
