ArchivesRe: The correct pron. of Catriona
in reply to a message by Haven
I'll agree most English speakers pronounce it [kat-REE-nuh].
The odd pronunciation of 'io' as [ee] is based off of the Irish-Gaelic (and accented) spelling, "Caitríona." That name is pronounced [KOYTCH-ree-nuh] or [KIETCH-ree-nuh].
