From Online Etymology Dictionary:

Capri:
island in the Bay of Naples, of unknown origin: L. capra "she-goat," Gk. kapros "boar," Etruscan capra "burial place" all have been suggested.

I think of goats, myself. Sorry. I kind of like the possible nicknames based on the stressed syllable, though (Pri, Prina). Otherwise, why not just Catrina. People probably mishear it as Catrina often.

I like it!

Never saw it before, but I like the look and sound of it. Very pretty. Capri always made me think of Caprisun drinks but this doesn't for some reason. I am adding it to my long list. Thanks for posting about it.

I've never really thought about this name. I like the fact that it's similar to Capricorn, but I think it looks / sounds too much like Capri...

The names go together well, but I'm not too sure about Caprina. On one hand, I think it sounds pretty, but it reminds me of the word "capricious." I prefer Carina.

Caprina's okay, but it sounds like a cream or a brand of something.

Or a line of clothing. :/

Not a huge fan of it. It sounds like they added -ina to the end to make it a name, after the island of Capri. Camilla is pretty, though.
