Caterina

I like almost every variant of Catherine, including this one.

Beautiful, elegant and timeless. This is probably my favourite version of Katherine, which itself is already a wonderful name.

Caterina is such a cute name I think probably more girly than masculine but can be turned that way determined by their personality. But lol what if you had twin girls and named them Caterina and Puperina?

Caterina is such a beautiful name! A lovely way around "Katherine". I pronounce this name as kə-tə-REE-nə. :)

This is my maternal grandma's name (I'm from Italy). Caterina is considered a classic name and it is still quite popular today, it was the 46th most common name for girls born in Italy in 2017. Personally I find it very elegant but simple at the same time, perfect for both little girls and old women.

This is my name and while I absolutely love it I don't recommend naming your child this name if you get annoyed by constant mispronunciation, I've been called Katrina and Catalina more than I have been called Caterina at first meetings. But it's awesome when fellow Italian Americans read my name and they actually pronounce it properly (the more 'r' rolling the better). I've never met anyone with my name before, although many Catherines like to insist that we have the same name.

I think Caterina is a beautiful name but it's nicer with a K (Katerina). In my opinion it also comes with nice nicknames Tina, Cat, Rina but obviously Catty is a horrible nickname, and Terry is also okay.

Wow! These are the highest ratings I have ever seen. 94? Wow. I like this name.

It sounds tropical. Lovely name. I think of a beautiful model.

The other reason I love this name is it has no popularity which means if I name my kid this, then no one else will have it! I LOVE that.

Geez people, really? I'm sure that commenter from 2009 didn't mean that no on else on earth would have the name Caterina. I think she or he meant that a Caterina would most likely be the only Caterina in her classes, sports teams, and circle of friends. This is unlike Sophia or Isabella or Emma.

Just because a name has never been on the top 1000 doesn't mean no one has it. Plenty of people are given names that have never been on the top 1000. Sure, it's more rare, but your child won't be the only person with the name.

I like this name a lot and I do like Cate a lot for a nickname and I like Rina, Cate, Cat, Kitty.

I love this name, and the nickname Cate for it!

I have this name, and I've never met anyone with the same name, nevermind the same spelling. There are a lot of different ways to spell it, but I'm rather biased to this way ("Caterina"). I personally love it a lot as a name--it always draws attention and remarks, sounds fairly melodic, and is obviously very unique. Don't give it as a name, however, if the idea of people mispronouncing it bothers you; in my case, only a very few people have pronounced it correctly the first time.
