Ekaterina/Katerina or Aleksandra?
I'm conflicted between both names. I like Ekaterina mostly because I love the nickname Kitty, and if I used Ekaterina, I'd also use the nicknames Cara and Kate. The thing, as a whole name, I prefer Aleksandra to Ekaterina. I'm not sure which to pick though. Do you have any other suggestions - for what I should pick, another name, nicknames, etc.? Thanks!

I prefer Katerina of these three. I'm not a huge fan of nicknames but I don't mind Kate. Trina, Rina, Sandra, Andra could also be nicknames.

I like Aleksandra more, but they are both good.

Ekaterina, or just Katerina. Beautiful name. I also love Katia, Karina, and Kara as NN.

Why not use them both?
Aleksandra Katerina
Katerina AleksandraSounds pretty good to me; if you choose to go with Aleksandra Katerina, you can still use whichever nickname you please. I don't know what this is for, a story or a baby. If it's a story, you can give it a background, like "her name was Aleksandra, but her grandma always called her Katia, because etc, etc" - probably some family reference. You can have her go by both names, depending on the people she's interacting with. And if it's for a baby, you can call her whatever you want anyway. She can be formally known as Aleksandra, while she can be Kitty or Katia for friends and family.

I prefer Aleksandra, but Katerina has the very cool opportunity of Katia.

Exactly, that's the uncertainty. I prefer the nicknames for Katerina but the name Aleksandra.

I prefer Katerina to Ekaterina. You can get Kitty out of any Katherine variants, imho.
I think Carina / Karina could also be nicknamed Cara.
