Corin and Corinna were knee-jerk names for 18th century rural young lovers, shepherds and shepherdesses mostly. So I've always thought of it with the short IN rather than the long EEN. But Corinne is co-REEN to me.

There was a miserable little earworm of a pop song once where the lead singer kept on whining about "Co-REEN, Co-REENA" until you wanted to drown the radio. Anything to avoid that!
