The most beautiful name I know of. It sounds strong and delicate in turns, depending on who wears it. It is feminine and refined. I also love the nickname Kat if one would like to be called something that sounds more casual.

While this name is unique in the United States and other English-speaking countries, it is quite common in Russia -- somewhat like Elizabeth or Katie here.

A pretty alternative to the uber-popular Katie.

This name used to be really popular in Germany in the 70s and 80s. It is usually spelled Katja here and pronounced Kuht-ya. I prefer Katia, though. Names ending in -ja (pronounced -ya) used to be extremely popular in Germany in the 80s. Others of that group are Anja, Sonja and Svenja. Recently a new group of -ja names have become popular among them Finja, Fenja, Lenja, Kaja, Maja and Ronja.

I don't like this name. It sounds clunky.

A name that has also been used in Italy, as feminine, of course.

I can't say how much I love the name Katia. It's a beautiful version of the simple and sweet, yet common Katie. It seems much more refined, and yet a little old-fashioned [I love old-fashioned though:)]. It's just all-around perfect!
