Names of violins part 2
February 18, 2008 at 3:52 AM
I think I've hit on a name for my violin at last! It's Katinka. My sister has a friend from Germany named Katinka. I think it's a cool name. It gives me conotations of tinkering, which sort of fits the idea of fiddling and practicing. I like it anyway- I'm currently on a little trip visiting my sister, so I can't wait to get back home a fiddle on Katinka! :)From Jim W. Miller

A high percentage of German girl names seem to have an "uh" sound at the end.

Is that Katinka or Katrinka?
