I am Bulgarian and Elfstone is Russian, so I dare say we know a little bit more on the matter than you. And I promise you that
Ekaterina is pronounced with an e-sound in Bulgarian and Macedonian.
Also, please check the pronunciation guide:
http://www.behindthename.com/pronunciation.php The "backwards N" that you are refering to is transcribed as "i" (on this site, and everywhere else), not "e".
