I just found these. Not sure of the correct pronunciation, though.

Cristiona is pronounced like Christina. Just like Catriona is pronounced like Katrina. It's just those Irish vowels that look like they have more sounds than they really do. (Aoife= EE-fa).

Somebody who's more familiar with Scottish pronunciation can chime in on Cairstiona. I bet it's like "Ker-steena", but don't know for sure.
