Albert and Alvin, Willard and William-- both groupings are vey established names, and would never be as closely paralleled with eachother (though if there was a family of men bearing Willard, who named their son William (or a variant), it is logical to assume that there is an honoring factor.)

If someone approached me in the real world with their consideration of Katrelle / Katriel, I would be lying if I did not say that I thought of The Hunger Game (which is such a mammoth focus within our culture, currently; it is believable.) Unless it is already traditional and rooted in society, I am drawn to think that many Kat- names will eventually have someones' mind (especially a hopeful fan) flicker.

I understand. If it is a name that you are strongly bonded to, Katriel definitely looks more professional and complete.
