Karina

Way better than Katrina at least no girl named Karina is going to get bullied for the name plus not only is it uncommon but it's really easy to pronounce.

Not a fan of this new age name trend of exotic sounding (and mostly unclassic) names ending in a. Karina, Katrina, Marina, Serena, Selena, Talisa etc all sort of blend into each other after a while and hence lose the unique wow factor.

Karina is a very pretty name that I really love. I don’t know how to describe it; it’s just a really great name.

Pretty and vivacious name.

So beautiful.

Reminds me of carrots.

Very dated!

This is a beautiful name, and I don't care who thinks otherwise.

Karina reminds me of falling snow and icy and snow covered pine trees. I love this name, and I think it's beautiful. It has a cold wintry feel, but also a warm, tender, and soft feel to it. This name is good in any situation, and works with a lot of different personalities.

Gorgeous!

Sounds pretty, but I'd spell it Karyna or Kyrina.

It's pretty surprising that such a delicate and subtle name would be popular in Poland...

My name is Karina, I love my name. People call me "Kary" or "Karushi" and I think my name describes me.

Karina is a really beautiful & gorgeous girl name. I like this name much more than the name Katrina.

A Russian-Australian friend has a daughter named this. It's very pretty, reminding me of an ice skater with long dark hair piled back in a fancy bun and wearing a peacock blue outfit, for some reason. I also like it spelled Carina but to me this lacks the cool wintry feel of the K version and sounds at bit like a make of Toyota car.

As a child I really hated this name, since another girl in my class had it. Now, it's really grown on me and I love it. It's pretty common where I live, but still really nice sounding.

I like this name, it's different :) I also like Karinu.

This name's really beautiful. I like Carina and Serena also. These names are so feminine and so lovely in meaning and sound.

This is my baby girl's middle name. When we gave her the name it was our thought that she would be named after my mother, and a woman who is a mentor to my husband and I. WE took the KA from my mothers name Kaye, and the RINA from our friends name Corina. At the time we named her we read that Karina meant pure.

I like the fact that it could mean 'pretty', 'beloved' or 'dear'!

I didn't know this name's origin was European. Every girl I know who has this name is Hispanic.

Karina sounds like a beautiful Russian model to me. I also have a friend named this.

I always thought this name was a variant of, or related to, names such as Corinna and Korina. I guess not, but they are pronounced almost the same. I wonder why Karina is so popular, whereas Korina/Corinna are almost never used.

A very pretty name--but it is very close to my last name, only two letters difference. I prefer this spelling to Corinna--this spelling is a little less flowery.

Beautiful. I adore this name, and it should be considered for every girl.

Such a radiant, lovely name! I also like it spelled Carina.

I picture Karina as an exotic, striking woman with fair skin, black hair, and black eyes. I love the name.
