Alastríona
I don't like Caitríona much because it sounds like Katrina, which I dislike.
I love the sound of Alastríona though. Very pretty.

Caitríona has an Anglicised form, whereas Alastríona is more unique. I prefer the sound and meaning of the latter, anyway.

Caitríona
I don't have the problem with Caitríona, but I have the urge to pronounce Alastríona as al-as-tree-oh-na).
I do like Alasdair though.

Alastriona.
Catriona is just a Gaelic form of Katrina/Spelling variant to me. It has lost its magic. Alastriona, on the other hand, is gorgeous and uncommon.

And to add...
.. It can also be pronounced cah-TREE-oh-na. Which is much prettier and it gains the charm it once had and is now competition for Alastriona.
