OOh am so pleased that Squeaver has done Katharine. My dd's middle name is that (yes inspired by Ms H) and I hate it when it is spelled wrong.

Olivia (de Haviland)
Joan (Fontaine)
Marlene (Dietriech) - has to be the german pronunciation not Mar-leeeen a la Delboy.
Greta (Garbot)
Clara (Bow)
Lilian (Gish)

Katharine is my dd's middle name too. When we registered at the GP's, I said Katharine - with two 'a's - and months later saw on the screen they'd put Kaatherine
How is it possible...

lol at Kaatherine.

School spelled in Kathryn once. Was not happy.

I love the name Lilian and is on my wish list.
