Katria?

What do you think of it? How would you say it?

I have liked Caitria for a while, but found there was disagreement of how to prn it.

Wondering if it was a little more 'exciting' and different than Katherine without being weird.

Thinking of Alba Katria Lumi as a combo, what do you think?

I like it. I'd probably say KAT ree ə, for preference - ka TREE ə sounds too much like Katrina.
I think it 'fits' better than Katherine, definitely.

Pretty.

I like the combo too.

"Different" forms of Katherine are something I like as well haha. Lately, it's Katrien that love. Alice Katrien Lucy. (Same initials as yours lol)

I'd pronounce it KAT-ree-uh...a little like "cat tree" with a schwa on end. I like it, and I don't find it weird.

Alba Katria Lumi is great. I especially love Alba.

It's okay I guess.
I would constantly want to correct it to Katrina.
Since it's in the middle name slot I think it's not terrible.

This was my thought, too....that I'd think it might be pronounced like Katrina but without an "n". But pretty much agree that anything flies in the middle as long as you're satisfied with the flow and meaning.

How to say Katria is more obvious than Caitria, but with Caitlin being popular so recently, people shouldn't have too much problems with Caitria either. I like it, and Caitriona is my favorite form of Katherine right now. Alba Katria Lumi is a nice combo.

See, that's the problem. In Irish Caitria is prn kat-ria like Caitriona, but people use Caitlin as a basis and prn it kate-ria which is the English prn.

I prefer the kat-ria prn, so am hoping Katria is a bit more obvious.
