My name is Catriona and I love it! I’m American so it’s pronounced Kat-ree-oh-nuh. Sorry to all you purists out there! My problem is that growing up teachers would refuse to say my name and just say “last name Moore” which is a very very popular last name which lead to much confusion throughout childhood. My town also was very conservative which meant people often told me that my name was spelled incorrectly, that that couldn’t be my full name, and that it was ugly because they had never heard of it. Even from adults! If this is your name, you should be proud of it! There aren't very many of us and especially not in the US.

This is such a beautiful spelling of the name, I love it. Pronounced kah-TREE-na or ka-TREE-oh-na, either way I'm blown away by this gorgeous name.

This is my middle name. I'm Scottish and have only ever met 2 other Catriona's, both of whom are now in their 20s. My name is Mhairi Catriona which flows right off your tongue (providing you can say both names!) and I love the fact they are both Scottish.

This is a beautiful name, and I prefer this spelling and find it more appealing than its variant "Katherine." Strong, unique, and (as I said) just beautiful.
Gorgeous name.

Before the modernisation of their alphabet, and yes they DID do this, another spelling was Catroina and pronounced basically the same--depending on Scotland or Ireland.

This is my name but until recently I've never been fond of it. My whole life is full of teachers reading the register and calling me Cat-ri-o-na which drives me nuts. If people learnt how to pronounce it properly I would be totally fine with it. If you give this name to a kid, make sure you live in a place where people know that it isn't supposed to sound like you have a cat stuck up a tree.

I enjoy this spelling and sound as an alternative to the English Catherine. I prefer the "c" variants to the "K" names. Catrine is close, but possibly too close to Katrina.

This is my name and personally I'm not too fond of it, but I'm used to it now. I mostly don't like it because people call me really weird things like CATRONIA or KATIE or CATRON. I can deal with cat-tree-o-na as, but the other names are ridiculous. Other than that I found my name quite sophisticated.
