Well, Katja sure stands alone as a name in Scandinavia. Many Finnish Katja's are even surprised to hear their name is a form of Katariina. Over here, Katja has lost all of its nickname status and it's never used as a nn for Katariina.

Ditto for Denmark.Except here it's concidered nn for the Russian Katharina. Or so says my baby name book.But it's only used as a stand alone name nowadays here.- Charlie (Who prn Katja as KAT-yah)

How is Katya pronunced? The same?I'm curious, because I've often thought of using Katya (pro. kat-tia) as a nick-name for Katarina. I like Kat-yah a bit better.Siri
