Help[Opinions] Re: Catriona
in reply to a message by Elinor
I had a Scottish prof who used four syllables, so I thought it was an accepted pronunciation. I only like it with four - the Katrina pronunciation/name doesn't do anything for me.

It's a known pronunciation, sure. It is "meant" to be Katrina in that it's a Gaelic version and that's the Gaelic pronunciation. 4 syls is like Mhairi pronounced "marry" instead of "varry", and you get that in Scotland too. The vast majority of people don't speak any Gaelic and these are all accepted variants.

Hm. Good to know - it can get confusing when you get dialact/variant differences on a name.
