[Opinions] how do you pronounce...

...Carina? I always pronounced it like Corrina, but I looked it up on the net ('cos there is a constellation called Carina) and I came up with all these different ways:

kuh-RYE-nuh

kay ree' nuh

car-EE-na

kuh-REE-nuh

kah-RYE-nah

cuh RYE nuh

Obviously there is no agreed way, and I figured I'd just go with what most people say. So let me know!

Either car-EE-na or kuh-REE-nuh

I pronounce it like Karina, or with a CAR sound at the beginning. Reminds me of the difference in Cara and Kara. I say Kara,(kair-uh)and Cara, (Car-uh)

I have a Swiss friend named Carina and it's pro. Kor-ee-nah.
That could just be her, but maybe not. I don't know anyone else with this name.

They can't be the same in my accent, but I'm sure that in some they could be.

For me, Corinna = kaw-REEN-uh and Carina = ka-REEN-a

Carina: kah-ree-nah / kah-rin-ah
Corrina: koh-ree-nah / koh-rin-ah

I pronounce it ka-REE-na, like Catrina without the t. I love this name!

I don't care for it, but I'd pronounce it as kuh-REE-nuh.

I'm never good at telling what they mean (RYE is like DIE?), but I pronounce Carina as kuh-REE-nuh and Karenna as kah-ren-nah
