My faince and I plan on TTC right after the wedding. He likes the name Katrina. I am un sure due to the hurricane. Do you think it would be bad to name our daughter Katrina?

Let me start by saying I live in Biloxi,MS and endured Hurricane Katrina. We lost nearly everything and are having to live in an apt with a very uncertain future here professionally. We sorted thru the wreckage wearing plastic gloves and a breathalizer (because the mold was so horrible). Absolute filth and destruction. This place is still a total disaster. Having said that, I don't think the name Katrina is a bad one at all. It's pretty, different and decidedly feminine. I actually expect lots of little Katrinas to be born in the next 5 years...just because we all heard the name Katrina about a billion times on the news and in time, its association to the hurricane will fade. Esp if you live somewhere outside the gulf coast, it's really not a problem. Good luck!

I LOVE the name Katrina, it's a long-time favorite of mine. I think that give time, the association will fade for all except those who suffered personally. I think that if you live outside the region directly affected, it will be fine.

I've always loved the name Katrina. I say use it if you love it, and maybe use a nickname like Trina, Kat, or Katie.

I love the name Katrina! I agree with everyone else after a few years people aren't gonna associate it with the hurricane. And if you can't get over the hurrican aspect wdyt of Katari(kat-uh-re).

We live in Minnesota. So we saw nothing of the hurricane except what was on TV. My fiance says she would not even know her name was the same until they studied it in school or something. He has wanted that name for as long as he can remember. I guess I will have to consider it.
