Personal experiences with the name Katerina

This is my daughter's name, and I love it. It is exotic but still recognizable to Americans, clearly related to "Katherine" and "Katrina" but much less used, familiar from Katarina Witt and other international athletes and performers. It is feminine without being frilly, graceful and dignified. And many of the common "Katherine" nicknames can still be used if one wants to blend in rather than standing out at times.
