Catalina or Caterina

mylilwildflower · September 2015

This is a poll actually for a dear friend who is struggling between the two names...I told her this is the place to get unbiased opinions... thoughts?

I love Catalina. I like the spelling of Katarina over Caterina. My vote would be Catalina out of the two.

Mostly due to my DH and BIL incessantly quoting this movie, Catalina has me all:

I much prefer Caterina though I don't like the spelling. Katarina is much better IMO.

Catalina makes me think of the salad dressing, so my vote would be for Katarina.

MamaWren919 · October 2015

I like Katarina better.

Katarina Kitty Cat, any moms or toddlers out there?

For me, Katarina > Caterina > Catalina.

The Caterina is too close in look to "catering".

catalina is a dressing

There's actually a Catalina island off of the coast of SoCal, so that's the first thing I thought of. Not a negative connotation, for me, and actually makes me lean that way. I'm with other posters in I'd spell the other Katerina.

This. And it's so grossly sweet.

Catalina is so pretty. That's definitely what I'd go with.

Catalina over Caterina

Katerina!

MrsCliffwood · October 2015

I haven't heard of either, wouldn't be popular in my neck of the woods

I'd vote Caterina (sounds better to me as I'm assuming it sounds similar to Caitríona/Catriona which I hear plenty of here in Ireland)

Catalina is Spanish. Caterina is Italian. Katerina or Ekaterina are Russian. I don't know what the origin of Katarina is but I don't like it as it reminds me of the word catarrh, which means phlegm.
