I'll TELL you what's in a name, mister

[slemslempike]

Poll about spellings, inspired by Anne Shirley's assertion in Anne of Windy Willows/Poplars that "Catherine with a C is smug", causing her bitter colleague Katherine to start writing her name with a C in notes to Anne. Assume that both names would be pronounced the same (they are by me), just which spelling you prefer. I promise no repercussions for q5, I am just curious!

[Poll #1448127]

Also - can't be bothered to edit the poll to put this in - does your name get misspelled often, and does it annoy you?

Your name is one of the few that I have a complete mental blank on: in my head, -ie is feminine and -ey is masculine, so I always have to correct myself, and then I wonder whether I had it right the first time around and have corrected it wrong, etc. So I apologise if I'm one of the people who's got it wrong!
