Hey Katrina There is no literal translation of your name in Arabic. What we try to do is to spell out the name using Arabic letters which makes it sound the same. But your name is fairly common, so there will be no problem at all when you say it. Unfortunately writing it down here only gives me the option in the usage of a small font, which may look a bit complicated. My advice would be to copy it and paste it in a word document, then resizing it...making it bigger so you can spot the little details in it. It is written just like Ashehri said: كاترينا

To pronounce it in Arabic the same as English, I would write it as بَكي otherwise if it is written as بيكي, it would definitely be pronounced, as you suggested, beekee. Same for نِكول and نيكول.

‎مَل is the most accurate, to me. It’s essentially “Mel” with a slight accent and sounds just fine, imagine a non-native English speaker pronouncing “Mel” and you’re there. The “L” is a hard L in Arabic but not in English, so it won’t sound like “mail” or “male” or whichever other mispronunciation you’re worried of. ‎مِل sounds like “Mil” with a hard L, and ميل (which means mile) sounds like “Meal” with a hard L, both fall short imo.

برِيَنى also works using shorter vowels to sound more like english
