Catherine

Meaning of Catherine: "pure"
Catherine's Popularity in 2011: #161
Catherine is one of the oldest and most consistently well-used female names, with endless variations and nicknames. The Catherine form feels more gently old-fashioned and feminine than the more popular K versions. Most stylish nickname for Catherine right now: Kate...or Cate, a la Blanchett.
While the popularity of the Catherine form has been waning in favor of Katherine with a K, we think that might turn around now that Catherine Middleton, who reportedly hates the name Kate and never uses it, has married Prince William and put a modern, stylish gloss on her already classy name.
