Help[Opinions] Re: Kaija
in reply to a message by Perrine
I'm from Finland and I can confirm that Kaija is pronounced as KY-yah. All the diminutives of Katariina listed in the BtN database are used on their own and aren't real nicknames anymore except for Kata (which is the only currently used nickname for Katariina I know).
I find Kaija the most dated of all the diminutives of Katariina: it's most common on women born in the 1940's and 1950's. It also reminds me of parrots, because the Finnish word for parrot is "papukaija". Kaja has similar vibe to me whereas Kaia is much more modern and trendier.
