Catriona?

[Klex]

Pronounced Ca-Tree-nah.

Thoughts?

Expecting DC2. Don't know sex yet but just putting together a long list.

Sibling to Andrew.

lovely

I went to school with a girl with this spelling of Catriona. She spent a lot of time correcting people who pronounced it 'cat ree oh na'

I would pronounce Catriona as Cat-ree-oh-nah
Catrina would be Cat-ree-nah

It's a Gaelic name with a Gaelic spelling.

If people can manage Niamh or Siobhan I'm sure they can manage Catriona.

It’s a common name in Scotland, there would be no pronunciation problems. Goes well with Andrew as the patron Saint of Scotland.

I think of it as a bit dated - 60s name.

Lovely name, Catriona is of course the correct spelling

She'll need to correct people but better than using a made up spelling

I like it! (I also did read it as cat-ree-oh-nah initially).

Love Catriona. Scottish so know how to pronounce it. Cat is a very cool nickname too.

Beautiful name.
I am not Scottish and know how to pronounce it properly.

But I had a friend who called herself cat-ree-oh-nuh (she was Scottish). Not everyone pronounces it like you. Unlike with Niamh etc where there is only one way...

I love that spelling. You’ll be fine here in Scotland for pronunciation but might struggle in the rest of the world. I’m American and didn’t know the pronunciation until I moved to Scotland.

I'm probably thick but I wouldn't have known exactly how to say it unless you said. I think it is a nice name though.

I have a name that has two pronunciations. I don't really even notice which people say. I also have to spell it as various spelling options.

I like it. When you confirmed pronunciation OP I thought what other possible way could there be to pronounce it, then someone came up with cat-ree-oh-nah 😂
I think the amount of times someone pronounced it incorrectly would be very few and far between. I've never heard it pronounced anything other than Ca-Tree-nah.

I don’t think we have any left as the dog kept chewing them

Sorry please ignore my posts!
love Catriona, love spellling

And my garden isn’t full of poo!

There’s also more than one way to pronounce Niamh 😁 Where I’m from it’s Nee-yuv not Neev.

Catriona is a great name.

I like it 😊 I’m Scottish and would pronounce it Cat-ree-na but my mum pronounces it Cat-ree-uh-na. I think it’s our different accents though.

The gaelic pronounciation has 4 syllables but the 3rd is very soft as the emphasis is on the 2nd.

Roughly Ca TREE uh nuh

But most people say Catrina and both are lovely.

I am careful to learn pronunciations but I am embarrassed to admit that I only learnt that this name is pronounced Kat-ree-na very recently, from this board. I grew up with one who pronounced it Kat-ree-oh-na.

Lovely name - not heard it in 40 years

Catriona is cat-tree-oh-na
