My name is Mary Kathryn, named for my mother Mary Margaret. i've been called Kathy since I was born, so I identify more with Kathryn than Mary. I think It's a beautiful, classic, strong name.

I am a Kathryn, after my great-grandmother. i've never gone by Kathy or Katie because I like Kathryn so much. People very often misspell my name, since there are so many other ways to spell it (Katherine, Catherine), but it doesn't bother me anymore. It's always a pleasant surprise when a stranger'spells my name correctly without me telling them.

People often pronounce this spelling of Kathryn in the 3 syllable Ka-ther-ine. I am referred to as Kathy often. I like the'spelling of my name. Othe's who have this speling or know someone else who does, often mention it making it a shared uniqueness. I enjoy that too.

I think that It's an okay name. It has its ups and downs. Personally I find that its just to straight a name. I am called Katie normally but i've had my fair share of having been called: Kate, Katers,and many othe's that embarresed me in public. So far I have met over 3 Kathryns...and over 4 Katies. :) :~)

I named my daughter Kathryn Marie. It is a name in every generation of our family going back to the 1680's. We call her Katie. But when she grows up to be a C.E.O. of a major corporation she can go back to Kathryn.

My name is Kathryn (pronounced Ca-thrin)after my great-grandmother, and I love it. When I was younger I didn't like it as much because I wanted something more "unique" and I thought Kathryn was too "old lady-ish." But as I went into Middle School, I really started to appreciate it more. I go by Kathryn most of the time, but my grandmother calls me Kat. People sometimes call me Kathy, which I don't mind. i've never been called katie, nor do I want to be. I don't have a problem with people pronouncing it wrong, but I don't think i've ever had someone spell it right on the first try. And I have only met a handful of Kathryns. Most people spell it the more "traditional" ways. If you do decide to name your kid Kathryn, I think you should give a bit of a more exiting middle name, so they can go by that when'they are younger if they want to. But all in all, I really do love my name!

I really like my name, and the'spelling, but I hate it when I spell my name to someone and they say "ooh, that's an unusual spelling" - It's about the 3rd most common spelling, out of about 24 of this name. One friend who has known me for 15 years said she'd never'seen It'spelt that way. She's a Star Trek fan - has she never noticed character name "Captain Kathryn Janeway" in the opening credits of Voyager??? My name is only ever'shortened to "Kath", and then at personal choice of the person.

I often find that when I tell them my name is Kathryn, they want to spell it Katherine. The kind of annoys me.

My name too! I hate being called the three-syllable "Kath-er-ine", I find I get "Kaitlin" a lot too which really bugs me. I like my English variation!

Kathryn, is the best name for a little girl. My daughter is Kathryn, and I don't like it to be changed to Katy, or Kathy, as that is not her name. It is one of the most classy and elegant names to be given.

My middle name in Kathryn and i love the way it is spelled! My aunt calls me Allicat and i think It'should be spelled: Allikat because it makes so much more sense. I love the name anyways, if i have a baby and it is a girl I'might name her Kathryn Alexa.

My name is Kathryn. I like it. I think the'spelling is pretty. When I grew up, on my street, one house after the other (with only one person being across the'street), there was Karin, Kathryn, Catherine, Catherine, Karen, and Kathryn! i've always had to spell both my first and last names, so that's just part of my life. My nickname is Kathy. People can call me "Kathy" or "Kathryn", I don't care which. "Kathryn" makes me feel more special, though. "Kathryn" is the Danish spelling. My grandmother was Danish and always called me kah-treen, saying it the Danish way. My father chose my name, and my mother chose the'spelling. She thought she was spelling it like Katharine Hepburn, but she'spelled it wrong! (She prefers K-A-T-H-R-Y-N, so It's not a mistake.) Inter'stingly, a friend named her daughter after me. She had to ask how to spell it because she's from a foreign country. I told her all the ways to spell it and their origins, and she chose "Katharine". I was sort of named for Katharine Hepburn, but with a different spelling, and little Katharine was named after me but spelled like Katharine Hepburn!

My name is Kathryn and as i've gotten older i've come to appreciate my name more and more. I'm known as Katie, or Kate, to my family and friends and use my full name for more professional situations. I think the name itself is versatile and feminine. I'm quite proud to be a Kathryn.

Kathryn spelled this way is like being left-handed (which I am). It's enough to set you apart from the crowd but when othe's have it you I'mediately share a bond! I love my name.

My mother's name is Mary Kathryn. She was born in 1931. There were so many Mary's in her'school that the teacher decided my mom would be "Kathy". Today my mom goes by Kathy to her church friends, Kate to her family, and Kathryn professionally. My first born daughter (born in 1994) is named Kathryn Louise. She goes strictly by Kathryn, although the family sometimes calls her Kittyryn or Katrinka.

It is my daughter's name and I really love it and this particular spelling too. My daughter complains about & is called Katie instead. I tell her when she is older & needs a dignified name on a resume, she'll appreciate it then!

I'm a Kathryn and I love it. It may be a different spelling than the most classic versions with C or erine, but I love it. I can't beli've the first poster'said she thought it was an old ladies name. MAUDE is an old lady name. Hazel, Gertrude. Kathryn is like Isabel. Famous actresses, icons, QUEENS, have been named Kathryn. She'should be proud. AND happy, you can be Kat, Kate, Kay, Kathy. Just use a different derivation.

Although Kathryn Isn't as pretty or feminine as Kathleen, this spelling is the best of the lot. Kathryn is an old-fashioned way of spelling the name, just as old as Katherine. In fact, Henry the Eighth's fifth wife spelled her name "Kathryn" Howard and she died in the 1500s! I think the'spelling Kathryn is so much nicer than the three-syllable Katherine ... easier to write ... two less letters!
