One of the reasons multiple variations of names are allowed is to make it easy to determine if a name has been used. Using the examples in the rules, if using "Katherine" also locked out all of its variations (Kathy, Cathy and Catherine among them) would make it extremely difficult to determine if a name can be used. But only having to search for "Katherine" is easy. It also allows more people to participate.
Thanks Solitire1, for the guidance.
