How does the name [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] sound for a girl? We love it but we aren’t sure how it sounds to others. And we are at a loss for middle names. Any thoughts on this name? Thanks!

I think it’s lovely! [name_u]Unique[/name_u] but with a lot of familiar sounds.
For middles, I tend to go for family names, do you have anyone you’d like to honour or if not people, any special thing that would be meaningful to have? For example I’d use my mum’s name or something like ‘[name_u]Willow[/name_u]’ as that’s the leaf pattern on my wedding dress etc.
I’d go for something with 1-2 syllables that doesn’t end in ‘a’, some general suggestions:
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]/May (a bit ‘filler’ but pretty)
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_f]Joanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u]

I love [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]! I’ve loved it ever since I first saw the Romanian gymnast [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] Ponor on tv at the olympics, I thought her name was gorgeous. Then also discovering it was the real name of [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] of [name_m]Aragon[/name_m]. It’s so pretty. I wish more people would use it!

I like it, sounds very EUROPIAN
I think it’s pretty. Not a deal breaker but it is the name of the newer [name_f]Apple[/name_f] software so not sure how much the name will be tied to that for others.

Catalina is so pretty! It’s elegant yet light and full of energy. I like [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] with something shorter in the middle, maybe one or two syllables?
I like the sounds and look of the name but unfortunately there is a song that we had to sing in elementary school so often that I still know the words, that could cause serious teasing. Catalina Magdalena - Beth's Notes It’s still on websites like songs for teaching. Then of course there is the [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] Wine Mixer from Step Brothers, but I think my family references it more than most. I really like the name but those associations are very strong for me. Since the song is often sang in schools, I just worry about potential teasing.

I love this name. 
Delicate & feminine.
May be confused for: [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/Katherine/other variants, [name_f]Katalina[/name_f], [name_f]Catarina[/name_f]/Katarina, [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]/Catrina.
I love it! The sound is stunning and there are so much cute nicknames to choose from.
I like [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]! Especially with the nns [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_u]Tali[/name_u], or [name_f]Lina[/name_f]. It’s an underappreciated form of [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] to be sure. 
What about:

I love it! It sounds so beautiful.
It also makes me think of the similar name of [name_f]Catriona[/name_f], and [name_f]Catarina[/name_f].
Love [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]! [name_u]Unique[/name_u] and not too popular but familiar. It’s a beautiful name.
Love! Nickname [name_f]Lena[/name_f]!
It makes me think about [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] [name_u]Island[/name_u] 
Stunning name! It’s on my personal list. Great nickname opportunity and so incredibly elegant!
I absolutely love [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]. It was my best friend’s name! I’ve had a crush on it for years.
The only two associations I have with [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] are the island and the salad dressing. They are not especially strong associations. I agree that [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] is a lovely, underappreciated name and I’d be delighted to meet a little [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]!
