I guess this depends on how it is pronounced. I like them both said like kor-een and kor-een-ah. Of the two I prefer Corinne. It's just simpler. Plus, I gravitate towards names that don't end in -a.

I tend to pronouce Corinne as ko-RIN and Corinna as ko-REEN-a.

Hmm. I don't see why an 'i' followed by a double consonant would be pronounced 'ee' though?

Sorry! I meant to post that against the original post!In any case - yeah, it makes no sense. It SHOULD be rin not reen. Still, I have always heard it pronounced reen from people with the name Corinne. They might be all wrong but it influenced my preferences. Corrine with the rin sound is pretty too. Corinna with the rin sound is not-so-much, imo.
