So no one liked Ocean or Oceana...

But what about Catkin? I like quirky names as you can tell.

Just Catkin, not short for Catherine.

Thoughts welcome

I think people will think that you must mean Catrin, and change it to that. I love Catrin.

No. It's horrible.

Like pussycat, or cattykins.

Would you really want to be called that?

Fan of hunger games much? Very similar to katniss and is a plant name I think??
??

I quite like it, but it is definitely a Marmite name!

Oisin pronounce o-shin, o like in octagon is a lovely welsh name.
What about Wren?

It sounds like a lovely nickname, but why not Catherine?

If you want a natural name, what about Blossom?
