Katina
What are your thoughts on Katina? It is possibly the name with the biggest spike in popularity, debuting at #117 in 1972. I find that fascinating.

I like the sound of it; it's very gentle-sounding. However, I definitely prefer the similar-sounding names Katrina and Karina.
I really don’t like it. Even though it’s a real name it looks like a typo for Katrina or Karina.
I don't like it. It's weird, but not in an "oh, cool!" way, but more in a bland "oh, that's kinda weird" way. I would prefer Karina or Katrina.
I know it's a legit name ...But it just looks and sounds like a mistake to me. Like it's really supposed to be Katrina.
Extraordinary! It looks like a spelling error for either Karina or Katrina: I foresee a lifetime of explanations.
It sounds too tinkly and fragile, like delicate glass
It's ok
I always find names that enter the charts above 400 interesting. I like Katina and Kat or Kate are good nicknames

What other names do you know of that entered above 400??
If you go to the Popularity section and find the US lists, there's a section called "Extremes" that ranks the Top Rises over 1 year, 3 years, etc. It shows you some names that had the most dramatic debuts.
Oooh, thank you!!
