Opinions on Corinna?

Been thinking about this name after reading the Corinne thread really. It's not a name I've ever considered but I do think it's quite nice pronounced Co-rin-ah not Co-reen-ah.

How would everyone else pronounce it?

So, what does everyone think of when they hear the name Corinna? How would you categorise the name Corinna style wise? Also, what would Corinna's siblings be named?

I like it.
I work with someone called Corrina which is pronounced as you want it to be.

Had a babysitter called Carola (or maybe Carolla) many years ago in the States (ie when I was the baby being sat). Also sounds like a car. Sorry - Corinne is a nice French name that will actually work here ie people can spell it and pronounce it. Corinna just sounds like you're poncing it up. Too like Corona/

used to work with one

she pronounced it Koreeena...

like it

Can't remember what her siblings were called but think she went on to have Calum (might have been Conor) and Ciara as children.

One of my best friends is called Corinna, pronounced as you like it. She's 28. She has always really loved having an unusual name but always has to spell it for people. Her sibs are called Lucy, Edmond & Dunstan.
