Katharine once saved a man from drowning . After she had rescued him he then took out a camera and tried to take a photograph . Katharine threatened to smash the camera over his head if he didn't put it away .

I did too! Well, sort of - I mean her friends all called her Kath, whereas we nieces and nephews used her full name Kathleen. I know..... not quite the same as Katharine. One of her grand daughters is called Katharine though, does that count? I'll weigh in here: My mother's name is Katalin. But everybody calls her Kathy. JS

Katharine in 1984 is nothing like our Kate. (Re-reading the book right now...had to throw in my two cents.) Her features (tall, athletic, 'noble' face) are somewhat similar...but she is so often described as stupid, or empty-headed (Winston calls her the "Human Soundtrack"), or hopelessly frigid, that I really can't imagine Orwell having based the character on her at all. Unless he didn't like her. Hmm.
And lol on your quote Amber. In grade 9 my math teacher was giving out random awards, like most perpetually late to class, or most attempts to dodge the dress code...and awarded me the "Audrey Hepburn Award".

I haven´t got any aunt Kate, Kath or Katharine. Anyway, in Spain, she call "Catalina". I haven´t got any "tía Catalina" but it could be "tia Cat", too. It would be funny! SeeU

This isn´t the same thread but I have got any anecdote about "the name" THE KATHARINE/KATHERINE/CATHERINE STORY. Two years ago, I had got a pupil with this name. "What´s your name? "- I said (I was doing a pupils list) "kath..rine"- she said. I had got doubt... ( in Spain this anglosajon name isn´t usual) "Like cinema actress"- I said. The girl looked me: "I don´t know" "Oh, you must wacth some movie and you must ask your mother why you call so" I began to write the mane in my piece of paper... K-A-T-H-A-R-... The girl said "STOP, it don´t write with K, write it with C" C-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E (with "e", I was deception ja,ja,ja,ja) I said to girl: "Don´t worry, it sounds same. Remenber, you must watch some movie"

on the name spelling .. it can go all ways. in my case, my sister named her daughter, my now 12 year old niece, "catherine". i asked my sister at the time of her daughter's birth: so how are you spelling the name? she carefully spelled with the "c" and "e". when i asked why she chose this particular spelling, she replied (my sister is quite literal): well, it's the old fashioned spelling. i replied: how about katharine hepburn? sister was stopped in her tracks. then simply said: i like "catherine". o.k. but honestly ... let's argue fair.
