[Opinions] Re: Catriona
I adore Catriona and sometimes wish I had used it for my own dd, Katherine.BTW, I used to be on another naming forum and a friend of mine was from Edinburgh. She told me once that Catriona is pronounced in such a way that nonScots hear 'Katrina,' however, it's actually pronounced like Kah-TREE-uh-nuh. She said the pronunciation is difficult to describe fully but the name actually has 3 1/5 syllables rather than four (the 'uh' is so very slight). Also, she said it's fairly common to hear 'Katrina' in Scotland.I prefer Triona to Riona but it's not bad at all.
