Wait, aren't Katrina with a b and Sabrina with a C pronounced exactly the same way? Both are ka-BREE-na to me. I can't say I've ever met one, and I'm not too found of the brina sound anyway.

My first thought was that it was ka-BREE-na, but because I've seen Serena spelled Cerena and pronounced just like Serena, I wondered if maybe Cabrina was pronounced like Sabrina in her case (with a soft "c" instead of a hard "c"). I didn't hear her name said aloud, so I'm not entirely sure, but most likely, it's ka-BREE-na.

Cs are only soft in front of E's, I's, or Y's

Yes, but would that really stop someone who wanted to say /sa BREE na/ for Cabrina from doing that? I'm not a fan of this new name either.It reminds me of Suburgatory's KKK. Kenzie, Kaitlin, and Kamantha.

True, but I'd punch them.

Ha, agreed. With tryndee and made-up names people tend to create their own pronunciations, so you just never know.

Oh! I see what you mean now. I thought you were referring to the BREE sound. My bad!
