[Opinions] Caitria or Catria?
I love Caitria, but I prefer the cat-ree-ah pronunciation over cate-ree-ah. Would Catria simplify matters or does it look made up and stupid?Which do you prefer and if you wanted the cat-ree-ah pronunciation which would you use?Also what is your opinion of Wren Caitria/Catria?

Caitria = Kate prn, and Catria = Cat prn for me.
TBH, I find them both awkward to say. Wren is lovely.

Catria seems a lot more likely to be pronounced cat-ree-ah. Truthfully, they both look a little made-up and silly to me, but I don't think that Catria looks any worse than Caitria. Between Caitria and Catria, I prefer Caitria, mainly because I hate the nickname Cat. If I wanted the cat-ree-ah pronunciation, I would definitely use Catria.Wren Catria is pretty awesome, actually!

With either spelling, if I were reading it my tendency would be to pronounce it cate-ree-ah.Compared to say, Maria, I find it very awkward to say, something about the "t" followed by the "ria". I'd probably adjust, though.I would prefer Wren Caitlin or Wren Katherine, either of whom could be nn'd Cat. I love the Wren part.

That's what I'm afraid of. cate-ree-ah sounds odd to me. There's the Finnish Katri, but just doesn't appeal to me as much as Katherine or the look of Caitria. Loving Wren at the moment, but worried it's too close to Finn. Really struggling to find a middle name that works.

Wren Artemis?--

Strange, that is my fave Wren combo at the moment, but I don't know if I can sell it to DP. It's a bit too much for him maybe. Wren Artemis Lumi is just gorgeous. I'd still like a Finnish name in there.

I think if Finn and Wren were twins, it might seem too close, but where there will be several years between them, not sure it matters so much. I think Wren Katri is quite beautiful.

Caitria - cate-ree-ah
Catria - cat-ree-ahI think the pronunciation of Catria is pretty straightforward and the one I would use if I wanted cat-ree-ah. I prefer Caitria though.
I don't really like the sound of Wren Catria even though I like the look of it. It's a bit of a tongue twister for me actually. Overall, okay, not yay.

I think Caitria and Catria both sound like medicines or scientific names for microbes. Can't support.I do think the Portuguese name Catia is lovely and underused, though.

They both look fantasy-esque and invented, but that's not bad. I like Catria - it looks more like its own name than Caitria which looks too much like its riding on Caitlyn's coattails.Defeinitely use Catria if you want the pronunciatin to be Cat- rather than Kate-. Caitria "cat-ree-ah" doesn't make linguistic sense, at least to me.Wren Catria is cute!
