If you prefer a different spelling that is not up there, please post it!!!!!!

Also, it would be OF GREAT help if you posted your comments on the names!!!!!! There are only 2 of them, so if you could please spare a few moments to tell your opinion, that would be appreciated! If not, that is okay, too. :)

I really like the "K" spellings, I can't really explain why, because I like Catherine better than Katherine...but it just looks a little more formal to me, I guess? I prefer

Katarina, then like Katerina...and I like that name better than Katalina-I think because it instantly makes me think of the place whereas Katarina feels like an elegant name to me.

good luck, Katarina is gorgeous :)

I really like Katarina (spelling and all). Catalina is a beautiful name, but everytime I hear it I think of Catalina Dressing and the vacation spot Catalina. Sorry. I don't know if that would be a major issue for you, but I just thought I'd let you know where my brain went. I would normally spell the name Catalina as is, but if you do go with this name, I would suggest using the Katalina spelling to distance your dd from a dressing and beach.

Good Luck!!

I prefer the C spellings. I'm like that with most names that could go either way ~ Catherine, Cathleen, Caryn, Caitlyn, etc ~ just because I think it looks softer that way. The K looks too harsh too me. I did choose Catalina but I didn't realize it was anything other than a name. Catarina is ok, too.

Not much of a help but anyhoo! :)
