Katarina is my favorite, very pretty. I prefer it spelled Katerina. I don't particularly care for it with the C spelling. Catalina just reminds me of salad dressing.

I adore each and every one of them. In fact, no matter who I married, my first dd would have had a Cat / Kat name, depending on the surname. Although I named my dd Katherine, she was very close to being a Katerina. (Dh picked out the mn Nicole so I had no choice but to go with Katherine.)As for which is my fave on your list, it would depend on the surname, however, I probably like Katarina best and Catarina least.

Catarina is my favorite. I think it's pretty because I associate it vaguely with ballet.Katarina is okay, but I'm more used to seeing K versions spelled with an E, so I'd prefer Katerina.Catalina is my least favorite, because it reminds me of a place called Cattle Annie's. I do like Katell and Katrell, though.

I think Katarina is very pretty. Catarina just doesn't look so great, and Catalina is okay but makes me think of an old car or salad dressing.
