Which name do you like more? Is Katerina too unusual?

Katerina by about a million miles.

Aprilmightbemynewname · 11/04/2018 18:20

I worked with a Katrine once - lovely name!!

RavenWings · 11/04/2018 18:21

Katerina. No contest imo.

Joinourclub · 11/04/2018 18:22

Both lovely. I also like Catriona.

IsabelleSE19 · 11/04/2018 18:24

Katerina, definitely. Agree with Join that Catriona is also lovely.

MollyHuaCha · 11/04/2018 18:25

Katerina

slowsloth · 11/04/2018 18:27

Katerina is the best of those two but I prefer Katrina without the E in the middle.

DramaAlpaca · 11/04/2018 18:27

Katerina, or even better Katarina.

Kaitlyn is a bit too, erm, creative. The original Caitlin is much nicer.

MadMaryBoddington · 11/04/2018 18:27

Katerina. I love Katya though.

Tashalburrows · 11/04/2018 18:28

Kaitlyn but I am biased as I have a dd called that but spelt Caitlyn.

WyfOfBathe · 11/04/2018 18:28

Kaitlyn
I do like Katerina, but it would be quite unusual unless you're Greek or Russian. I also like Katrina, Catriona, etc

ElspethFlashman · 11/04/2018 18:33

Kaitlyn is one of those American names that have no relation to the original name, so definately Katerina for me.

Sierra259 · 11/04/2018 18:35

I like both, but only if it's spelled Caitlyn/Caitlin and not with a K.

Arapaima · 11/04/2018 18:37

I prefer the C spelling personally. I know a Catarina (Portuguese), a Catriona (English), a Caitlin (English) and a Catrin (American). All nice names.

userabcname · 11/04/2018 18:38

Katerina is very pretty. So is Caitlin but prefer this spelling.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/04/2018 18:40

Kaitlyn sounds a bit too Kardashian.

shartsi · 11/04/2018 18:43

Katerina sounds nicer to the ear IMO

8SaltandVinegar · 11/04/2018 18:46

Catriona is Irish not English!

Kaitlyn is very American
Katerina is very Eastern European

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/04/2018 18:56

Katerina is beautiful.

LoveInTokyo · 11/04/2018 18:59

I like them both but prefer them both spelled with a C - Caitlin/Caitlyn and Caitriona.

The K spellings sound a bit “Khloe Kardashian”.

AnyaMoondial · 11/04/2018 19:15

I prefer Katrina (without the e) which is really beautiful.

Also like Caitlin with that spelling

MaryWortleyMontagu · 11/04/2018 19:20

Totally biased - dd is Katerina (Katya for short)

I intensely dislike Katrina.

Cleebope2 · 11/04/2018 19:22

Katerina

pepperpop · 11/04/2018 19:22

Katerina is lovely Smile

MikeUniformMike · 11/04/2018 19:41

Katerina. Caitlin is nice but Kaitlyn isn't.
