What do you think about:
Katharina (German form of Katherine)
Katarina (a central/eastern European form of Katherine)
Katarzyna (Polish form of Katherine)
nn, if used, would be Kasia (KAH sha) a traditional Polish nn.

I'm a long-time fan of Katarina. I think it's gorgeous. The others are nice too, but Katarina is definitely my favorite.

The middle name would most likely be Lior. It's an anagram of my sister Lori's name and fits the light theme of my other two.

Actually, I like them all! :-) I don't know which I like better... I will say, though, and maybe I'm assuming here but I would think that for most Americans seeing the name Katarzyna, they might think your daughter is not a native of America or that perhaps she doesn't speak English... I hope that doesn't sound closed-minded... but I know sometimes when people see names on paper/in print, and they are more ethnic-sounding, they assume the person doesn't speak English.
I wouldn't care too much about that though- I think they are all very beautiful names. :-)

Oh, how gorgeous! You and I share the same taste. I have loved Lior and Liora for a very long time.


Lovely, lovely name choice!


Let us know,

I think Katharina or Katarina are the best choices, and sound great with Lior. My vote would go to Katarina Lior. Very pretty name!

I like the concept of using the Polish form of Katherine, but think that it will result in lots of mispronounciation.

I would use Katarina instead.

I love the nn!

I Love Kasia. I'm thinking of naming my soon to be born daughter Kasia Belle. What do you think?
