Katrine

[Wildwaterfalls]

What do you think? It would go well with DD1's name, and suits our background (Dutch/Scandinavian) but does it work in English?

Mn likely to be Christina.

I really like it :-)

Would you say 'Ka-treen' rather than 'Ka-trinn'?
If the former, reminds me of 'latrine':/
What about Kristen?

Yes emphasis on second syllable. I was worried someone would make the latrine connection .

Like Kristen / Kirsten but DH not keen. He's not that keen on Katrine either but I'll persuade him

Sorry OP, my first thought was latrine when I saw your post.

Not bad but I prefer Catrin

I really like it, thought it could be spelt katrin, which would avoid the latrine problem - which I admit I have never thought of!

I really like Katrine in a Scandinavian /Dutch setting but think there will be issues around pronouncing and spelling the name in English.

I thought "latrine" too, sorry!

Katrina is lovely, or Carine, but they do sound quite similar to Christina.

It would definitely be ok in Scotland - we have Loch Katrine :)

Oh yes the Katrin spelling might work

Other suggestions for -in(e) ending names welcome.. Also like Astrid but have heard it a few times recently..

Corrine

Latrine

Delphine
Coraline
Jasmine

Ottoline
Corinne

Sabine

Eveline/Evelyn
Rosaline

I don't think I'd have "Katrine Christina", they sound very similar. "Katrin" is slightly better.

Christina has the "ine" sound emphasised, so any first name ending in "ine" will sound quite similar to Christina.

I think Katrine is a beautiful name. Although Christina does sound similar how often do we actually use our first name and middle name together? It's only usually when we are filling out forms, isn't it?

Loch Katrine is pronounced Kat-rin.
Kirsten, Kirstin?

moomins, I know - I thought that was the pronounciation the OP was going for but just re-read and see it was the opposite :)

Latrine.

So sorry. Sometimes that's just the way it goes. It's an obvious connection and primary aged children will make it.

It's wrong but it's true.

Also (and sorry again) Katrine Christina just doesn't flow.

I like it. It reminds me of Katrine frm Borgen.

Catrina Christine? Are you a Dylan fan (carrina carrina)?

It sounds like Catherine mis pronounced.

I went school with a Welsh Catrin, so Kathrine/Katrin sound perfectly natural to me.

I'd be very surprised if primary age children or high school for that matter had any idea what a Latrine was

Ka-trin is nice. Ka-treen is nice too, but is dicey for reasons stated. It's up to you whether that bothers you or not. x
