If all the spellings of Katherine were added together, it would make the #1 name for girls in The Times for 1984.
It is interesting to note that current 2012 top 10 favourites, Harry, Oliver, Jack, Amelia, Olivia, Jessica, Emily and Sophie, all ranked higher in The Times '84 rankings than the rankings for the whole of England and Wales in 1984.
Olivia, Camilla, Harry and Henry did not rank nationally in the Top 100 in 1984, despite ranking in The Times' top 30.
