I’m trying to decide between katerina or elena for my daughter. Last name may. Which one is better?? Plus I need help with middle name suggestions!!! I would like her to have two middle names. But one is okay too. I used to be really stuck on the middle name [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] but I feel like it doesn’t flow with katerina or elena. Thanks. (:
[name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] would be pretty and helps break up the A endings. Switching it to [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] might also help with the flow: [name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f].
Amazing suggestion!! Switching it to [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] would make it better sounding. Thanks!
[name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] are both lovely but I prefer [name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Kat[/name_f] names are a bit dated in Australia.
Yeah, I love them both. I can’t pick! I don’t like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] very much, it’s okay, but I really love katerina for some reason. And elena just sounds elegant and almost magical. Ahhh so hard to choose.
I love [name_f]Elena[/name_f], that gets my vote!
Thanks (: hard part is picking the middle names haha
I find the [name_m]Lay[/name_m] sound in [name_f]Elena[/name_f] too close to your last name [name_f]May[/name_f], so I prefer [name_f]Katerina[/name_f]. For middles I like [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_u]Elia[/name_u] & [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Katerina[/name_f], but I (unlike the poster before me) think that [name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] sounds better. But I like repetitive, almost rhyme-y names.
Gotta root for my name here: I love [name_f]Katerina[/name_f]! I’m just now realizing all the nn posibilities (I restricted myself to [name_f]Kat[/name_f], but there’s [name_f]Irina[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Trina[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f], even [name_f]Erin[/name_f] is in there)
I love my name, and I’m sure your little girl would too! Your middle suggestions are gorgeous. I think [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is perfect (the repeated letters is a favorite of mine)
I guess my answer would depend on how you are pronouncing the names. I prefer any pronunciation of [name_f]Elena[/name_f] to [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] as [kat-rina]. However I prefer [ka-teh-rina] to [el-ena] and [e-leh-na]. I can’t stand [e-lay-na] either way.
