My mom was pulling for the name Katrina, but my dad said it sounded too similar to the noise he makes when he sneezes. They settled on "Trina" instead. =)
This is an occasional nick-name for me as my given name is Catriona and I used to hate it when some people called me Trina but now I really love it and wish people called me it more often as this is such a good name! (for nick-name purposes) If this was used for a given name it would seem odd. But nice.
I think the name Trina is very beautiful. For a little girl I picture like a pretty little ballerina. That's what I think of when I think of a little girl named Trina. I believe I may name my future daughter this.
My name is Trina. It's not short for anything just Trina. I don't know where my mother got the idea for my name but I wouldn't change it for the world. I love my name and I have only ever heard of one other person with the name Trina.
