I have a friend who recent had a baby. Her baby’s first name isn’t a Catholic name but her middle name is Katherine, spelled like that. I know there’s a St. Katharine Drexel, who I think spells it differently than Katherine. And there are other saints with the name spelled with a C instead of a K. Is Katherine spelled this way still a Catholic name? And do we still have to have a Catholic name to be baptized?

Interestingly, there is a school called St. Katherine of Siena in Philadelphia. I've never seen St. Catherine of Siena referred to in that way. In the Orthodox Church there is Great Martyr Katherine of Alexandria.

I think that parish is spelled St.Katharine.

I would say yes. I don’t think the spelling matters. There’s also St. Catherine of Siena.

Ok that’s the third way I’ve heard of that spelling….St. Katharine, St. Katherine and St. Catherine.

I don’t think the spelling matters, imo.
