Hey Caitriona! I gotta question for ya!

[Big Dick McGee]

I was watching an LPGA event this weekend (no, I'm not a lesbian, just a complete golf addict), and there's a golfer who was in contention all weekend whose name is "Catriona Matthews". Now, they kept pronouncing her name "Katrina". So, I was wondering, is that how you pronounce your name?

 

[Shatna]

No, she pronounces hers "Ziggy".

 

[Big Dick McGee]

So, then, your name is pronounced "Dagwood"?

 

[The Call Of Nature]

lets make a game of this who will guess the pronounciation correctly?

I say it's pronounced approximately "Ky-tree-oh-nah"

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Well, the traditional Irish pronouciation is "ka-tree-na" or Katrina. I happen to know this because I was looking at Irish names when we found out my wife was pregnant in 2004.

"Caitriona", IIRC, is the Irish version of Catherine, more or less.

 

[The Call Of Nature]

which name did you chose, finally? I'm just curious

 

[EnglishRose]

I've always pronounced Cait 'Keet'

Well, we had a son, so we named him "Scott". Not really Irish, but there are too many "Sean"s in my family!

 

[Gagh]

I've always pronounced 'Caitriona' as 'Main Course'.

 

[Starship Coyote]

I've always pronounced Caitriona as Kate-ree-AHN-ah.

 

[Kyehlar]

I've been pronouncing it as Kay-Tree-Oh-Nuh.

 

[Gagh]

^How I've always said it, too.

 

[NeonMercuryASH]

Ooops! I've always said cat TRO nya

Rae is right about how you pronounce "Cait" [Keet]

Caitriona is a Gaelic version of Catherine. In Irish is is pronounced like BDM suggests. But I am Scottish, so you put a surly Scottish accent on the first syllable and it becomes "Keet-ree-ona" or "Keet-ree-na" [kaitrina] It's all a matter of accent.

It actually is pronounced like BDM suggests by most people in my life, BUT my aunts in Scotland pronounce it the way it is intended.

To get the full effect you have to draw the first syllable out quite a bit, the way Scots are pone to do. So Cait really is Kate.. is just become Kaaeeeeeeeet, Caitriona becomes "Kaeeeet-ree-na" when a Scotsman says it.

"Keet" for short, but most people just call me Kate. I answer to both.

 

[Gagh]

Do you answer to "Tits on legs" or "Fancy a fuck?"

 

[Hambil]

I'll just call you sexalicious.

 

[Kyehlar]

Intriguing. I learned a new fact!

Reminds me of the time I tried to pronounce Senar, and heard her screech when I said it wrong.

Very interesting! Thanks for the answer!

 

[Caitriona]

You're welcome...
