Comment left Jun 24, 2009: "I absolutely LOVE being named Catherine.. Yeah, it's traditional, but its actually really pretty. some people think its pronounced "Cath-rine", but i think the prettier and more proper way is three syllables. "Cath-er-ine". Just like so many others, I go by Cat. ^_^ Its the funnest name of the bunch. You can have fun with this name. I'm everyone's pet 'Cat'." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 15, 2009: "My name is Catherine. I'm not too fond of it, to be honest. It just doesn't suit me. /:
There's too many Catherines and Kathryns and any other way to spell it in my school. [There's always a popular one and I hate it when someone calls their name and I think they're talking to me for a sec.]
[though I'd never change my name. My parents gave me this name and I'll stick with it.]
And everyone always spells it wrong! DX" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Nov 06, 2008: "love it my best friend is Catherine and we all call her KitCat" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 20, 2008: "I'm another Catherine and have been nothing but pleased with it. A beautiful, classic name that everyone can pronounce (except Indian telemarketers, which is actually quite handy--if somone calls me Cath-reen, I know I'm in for a sales pitch), and most people can spell if you give them the hint that it starts with a "C". So many options for nicknames with a classic professional name to fall back on too." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 19, 2008: "My name is Catherine. I use it for business. Friends and family call me Katie. Catherine has been passed down in my family for at least 4 generations. I am very proud to have been given this name. It's a beautiful and very elegant." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 13, 2008: "love it! if only people understood its catie with a "C." someone once told me i spelled my name wrong." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 16, 2008: "My Cousin's name is Catherine and we always call her Katie. She Hates being called by her full name, (by that I mean middle and last as well)... But she likes her name Catherine, especially because when we were younger we used to be the 2 Cs. We both had names starting with "C". :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 12, 2008: "For most of your life you're an adult and Catherine is an elegant, ladylike woman's name. I'm a career girl so I love the fact that I have a sensible name. If you want to give your baby daughter a name she'll love her whole life, call her Catherine. She'll go far in life and to you, she'll always be your little Katie." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 05, 2008: "I love my name being Catherine. It's great! Anyone who knows me well, calls me Cat. Cat is so great too. People call me Kitty, Cat, and Catherine. If you're looking for a name for a girl, then Catherine is the best!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 22, 2008: "Catherine is my name and i love it,
