My name is Carina! I actually used to really hate it because I thought that the "r" sounded too harsh and the "C" looked too big but I think that I'm okay with it now. I like that it's like the Carina Nebula, all starry and galaxy-ish.

This is such a beautiful name. It's very simple and pretty. I hate when people name their children names like Katarina that just don't flow well and are too complex but this is simply a gorgeous simple name. I prefer the spelling Carina over Karina and I like Corrina (pronounced same way) even better than Carina.
