If you have or know a Catherine ...

[penguinfooted]

what do you call her day to day? I love the full name and the nn Cassie but don't like Cathy and would be keen to avoid that as a nn.

[kdiddy]

The ones I know are called Kath, Cathy, Kate and Cat.

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

Same as kdiddy. For Cassie you need to start with something like Cassandra.

[SingingSands]

My MIL is Catherine and only Catherine. Sometimes DFIL gets a bit tipsy at New Year and calls her "Cathy". That doesn't go down well. Sorry, I digress...

If I had a Catherine I would probably call her Catherine, as it's such a lovely name and little heard of nowadays. Maybe Cate or Kate/Katie? I love your nn of Cassie, but is that not short for Cassandra?

[Trizelda]

Ours is Kitty!

[wigglesrock]

I know quite a few Catherines and they are all Catherines ranging from a 5 - 30 year old. One of my closest friends is a Catherine and always has been except for a few months when she was 15 when she just had to be known as Cat I know Katies but they've all been called Katie from birth.

[Theas18]

Know a Kate and a cat

[StellaNova]

I know a Catherine (or possibly Katherine) who is a toddler, she is always Catherine.

If I had a Katharine I would call her Kate or Kitty, or Katharine in full. I love the name.

[omghelpmeplease]

i have one she is a Katy to us and a Kate to others.

For all the Catherine's around, I noticed in yesterday's newspaper that today is St. Catherine's Day. In some countries your saint's day counts as an extra birthday, so enjoy!

Also for all people named Katie, Katerina, Kathryn, Katherine, Catharine, etc. etc. as they are all the same name really.

[Skivvytomany]

The ones I know were Katies when they were young and changed to Catherine as they got older ( in 30 s now) the older (50s and 60s) are a mixture of Cathy and Catherine.

[Chicksy]

I know a Catherine and she gets Cassie

[sassytheFIRST]

My Catherine is known as Cassie to all and sundry. It's ace.

[sassytheFIRST]

We didn't like Cassandra (shades of Rodney - Cass-arn-dra - plus the whole prophetess of doom thang in Greek mythology). Cassie for Catherine works.

So there, nay Sayers.

[VodIsGod]

I know a 7 yo Catherine and my DSis is a 41yo Katherine. Both are always Catherine/Katherine. My DSis is called Kath by friends but not family.

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

We had about seven Catherines/Katherines/Kathryns in our year at school. We called them all Cath/Kath.

My SIL's name is Kathryn and gets called Katy.

[chipmonkey]

I know one in her 60's. She's Cathy.

[HoratiaWinwood]

Cassie is not short for Catherine.

The Catherines/Kathryns I know are Cath, Kate, Katy or Kathryn.

[Pumpster]

I'm Catherine and have always been Catherine

[Pumpster]

Ps I love my name

[NomNomDePlumPudding]

[SageMist]

I'm a Catherine and I've called myself Kate since I was 15, it's been some 35ish years since and I haven't regretted my decision yet.

[BunnyLebowski]

Great name. Great nn
