After going through a hefty list of names with DH we landed on a gorgeous name that I fell in love with for a week. Now I’m pondering whether there’s a better ‘variation’ that we can go with.
The name was [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] which means pure. Plain and simple, I love it especially with the meaning behind it. BUT, I’ve also seen [name_f]Cataleia[/name_f], which I think is really cute and [name_f]Katya[/name_f] of course is one of my favorites. [name_f]Sister[/name_f] is still [name_f]Winter[/name_f] E.
Any alternative thoughts?
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Cataleia[/name_f] are both super pretty, though I do prefer the [name_f]Cataleya[/name_f] spelling. 
[name_f]Catarina[/name_f] also came to mind.

[name_f]Carina[/name_f]
[name_f]Caterina[/name_f]
[name_f]Catrinel[/name_f]
[name_f]Kalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Cataleia[/name_f] is lovely and I like the flair of [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]! [name_f]Cataleya[/name_f] is another spelling that I like too!
Some other ideas could be…
[name_f]Catrinel[/name_f]
Catrinella
Catuxa
[name_f]Katalin[/name_f]
Catarin
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucasta[/name_f] came to mind too
Oooh I really like the sound of [name_f]Cataleia[/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though when I look at it the spelling makes sense, I think if I’d only heard it I would have spelled it wrong. I’d pick [name_f]Catalina[/name_f].
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
Seems like [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] is the right choice based on how you spoke of it. Don’t care for [name_f]Cataleia[/name_f]. I really like [name_f]Katya[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and [name_f]Cataleia[/name_f].

I think you may like [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]!
[name_f]Catrina[/name_f] would be beautiful too.
