HelpRe: Catriona
in reply to a message by Starving Artist
I like it - very beautiful. I prefer Catri to Riona because it seems more "natural".
(The Scottish lake of this name is pronounced Katrina, though, isn't it? I definitely prefer your pronunciation - gorgeous.)

do you mean Loch Katrine?
I don't think it's related to the name Katherine, but I must find out. It's pronounced KAT-rin.
As to the original question, i agree with most posters that the 4 syllable pronunciation is considered unlearned and is technically incorrect, so for that reason I wouldn't use it although I do agree it has a nice sound to it. I think cat-reena is just as nice though. I prefer the nicknames Cat, Cate or Kitty.
