opinion on Caterina?

what do you think of the name [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]? I like it because it is not popular at all in the U.S. and it’s a variation of [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but I also feel like it is quite a mouthful. If you like it, do you like [name_f]Melody[/name_f] as a middle name?

I love [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] and don’t think it’s a mouthful at all. Plus, there are so many shorter nn possibilities! [name_f]Melody[/name_f] is not my style.

I like [name_f]Caterina[/name_f], I think it’s very pretty and great nn options.

I think [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] flows well, a lot would go nicely with [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] I think.

Though I personally prefer [name_f]Katarina[/name_f], [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] is very nice as well. I really like the way it sounds with [name_f]Melody[/name_f].
I don’t think it’s too much of a mouthful. If [name_f]Melody[/name_f] was longer, it might be too much, but I think that it works just fine.
You could call her [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f], [name_f]Rina[/name_f], etc. if you think it’s too long to use all the time.

I think the name itself is lovely, but I think I’d prefer a different spelling. Someone else suggested [name_f]Katarina[/name_f], I think? When I look at [name_f]Caterina[/name_f], I just see the word cater, which isn’t the BEST association. But the name itself I think is perfectly fine. And I love the combo!

I personally prefer [name_f]Katarina[/name_f] as opposed to [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] but it’s a very pretty and feminine name. I think [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] flows very nicely!

I am a big fan of [name_f]Caterina[/name_f], however, I do prefer the spelling [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] . Overall its a very pretty name.

I know a little [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] who really loves her name, and I love it too! (Although I do believe she goes by [name_f]Cat[/name_f].) It’s not too much of a mouthful in my opinion; it flows nicely and sounds extremely regal. I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Melody[/name_f], but it does sound really amazing with [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] is gorgeous although I agree with the pp’s and like the [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] spelling much better.

I really like [name_f]Caterina[/name_f]! Although I much prefer the spelling [name_f]Katerina[/name_f], partly because [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] kind of looks like Cafeteria to me (no idea why I associate it that way).

There are also endless nickname possibilities. [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Kat[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], etc.

I love [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] Scorsone so I have a soft spot for this name, it’s really lovely.

[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] is a lovely name and [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] sounds beautiful together!

[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f] sounds beautiful. I know a girl named [name_f]Caterina[/name_f], and although she goes by [name_f]Cat[/name_f], she gets lovely compliments about her name all the time!

I also prefer [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] or [name_f]Katarina[/name_f] and I think it flows beautifully with [name_f]Melody[/name_f]!

It’s a beautiful name. The 4 syllable to 3 syllable name is very melodious.

[name_f]Caterina[/name_f] is lovely. It makes me think of the beautiful Italian actress [name_f]Caterina[/name_f] Murino.
