What do you think of the name Katherine for a high school girl?

Question

I'm starting high school soon, and I was thinking about going by something different than just 'Katie'. What do you think of the name Katherine for a high school girl?

Answer 1

It's nice, but you still might want to use katie, or have a completely different nickname!  You could use: Kitty, Kat, Rina, KT, Kath, Terri (kaTHERIne)

Answer 2

Its a very pretty name, no matter what you decide to go by.or how about "Kathy", that could used for a high school girl also!Katrina,could also be used! Good Luck in high school this year! Study hard! BUT ALSO HAVE FUN!

Answer 3

I think it's a good, sophisticated name. Katie can sound childish & playful, but if that's not what you're going for then don't. If my name was Katherine I'd loved to be called Kay, though =]  

Answer 4

Katie is always good... I had 2 friends named Katie now in their mid 20s.. but if u r comfortable with the change..it's ur name.

Answer 5

Katherine is pretty :)

Answer 6

I like Katherine much better than Katie. Also, Kate is pretty. Good luck!

Answer 7

Kathrine is a tradional and pretty name.  It is my sisters name.

Answer 8

I like Kat or Kate.

Katie's too common, and Katherine is long.

But either way.

If I were you i'd go by Kat, but Kate is more classic.

Answer 9

My 6th grade teacher was named katherine. We called her kitty or kat. My friend name was katherine and we called her berry... Don't know what it has to do with her name though. Or just go by kathy

Answer 10

cool. the nice thing about Katherine is it is so versitile. it can be Katherine, or Kathy, or Kate, or Katie, or even Kathleen, or Kathrine, or Kat depending on whatever you want. Katherine sounds very mature and a step up from Katie (which sounds like a small child's name), or Kate (which sounds more appropriate for jr. high). then, it is your choice, and might i add a good one! with a name like mine (i won't say what it is though), i don't have an option of altering it, which is a good way of showing your peers that you are changing your look for your new school. again, yes, Katherine is a great name, and I think you should keep it!

Answer 11

If Katherine is your real name then use it. It's a beautiful name. If your real name is Katie and you don't wish to sound juvenile then why not just Kate? Kate is formal and mature without being as "old school" as Katherine.

Answer 12

i like it. I think Its really pretty and will build your confidence. I searously think that would work.

Answer 13

My cousin knows a girl whose name is Katherine and is a Sophomore in high school. People call her Katherine and are fine with it. However, she sometimes goes by "Kat".
