Re: Masculine form of Catherine?
in reply to a message by Nifty_Name_Nerd
I think etymology matters, because a "masculine form of Catherine" is synthetic - there is no real masculine form in use, so the obvious approach is to imitate other names with similar origin, that have masculine and feminine original forms. Katherine is Greek. So - Ekaterinos, maybe? Have to ask someone Greek how viable that is. But it looks masculine to me.
There are 2 submitted names that seem to me like they could suit: Catalino, and Catarinus. Latin-y rather than Greek.
I think Catalino works.
I don't like it very much though.
