HelpCatherine or Kateri?
We have a girl's first name picked out (due in June): Samantha Catherine. I like the meanings of both names, and Samantha is a name my husband has wanted ever since we got married. I get to pick the middle name. My first name is Karen, which is the Dutch form of Katherine.
Also, we want a saint's name for the middle name. But lately I've been rethinking Catherine, mainly because it's the name of my ex's mother, who I had a bad relationship with.
Kateri is the Mohawk or Iroquois pronunciation of Catherine, and while it's not a saint's name per se, Kateri Tekathwikia is beatified in the Catholic Church, so that would make it meaningful for us.
Any thoughts? And if Kateri is too out there, any suggestions for middle names to go with Samantha (last name one syllable, begins with hard K sound)?
