I know a [name_f]Carina[/name_f] and a [name_f]Karina[/name_f] and I can’t say I prefer one or the other but the C spelling always reminds me of the “cute” meaning in Italian

14

I like [name_f]Karina[/name_f]. C is too wimpy and soft. K is stronger, bolder & more fun. K is a bit of a risk, C feels boring and too comfortable - like that couch in your grandmother’s house that’s been there forever that no one wants to sit in. K is the new, redone chair that the first to arrive claim. K is cool.

To me it looks weird with a C, but then one of my closes friends is a [name_f]Karina[/name_f], so that has always been the normal way for me!
