It's really not hard. Not Katcha, not Katchia, it's K-O-T-I-A.

How do you know how it ispronounced? the Hosts have worked with her for years and some of them socialized with her on their off work hours. I would think they know how to correctly pronounce her name.

Poor Alberti, gets all sorts of mispronouncing of his name, especially by vendors.

A lot of people call him Al birdi...he pronounces it Al Bear ti.

Neither Katia and Alberti were born in the US and their names are pronounced as they would be in the country where they were born.

Because that's how SHE pronounced it.

Coatia? Like coat? I thought it was Catia, like Cat. When did she pronounce her name on air?

I actually went to the voice/pronunciation dictionary for the name and it has 4 different pronunciations.

@Nonametoday I'm not surprised at this. When I was in school centuries ago, we were told that proper names can be pronounced however you want. That is, there is no right or wrong way.

Dictionary, Schmictionary, online or not. The proper way to pronounce anyone's name is the way the owner pronounces it.

Susan Graver calls Katia her "bestie," and she pronounces it phonetically COT-Tee-Ah.

@rms1954. How in the world do you know how Katia wants her name pronounced?

I learned that too, ( proper nouns) but that doesn't apply to someone's name. It is considered an insult to pronounce someone name incorrectly, especially when you are aware of it.

I cringe when somone calls me Carmen. I am either Carmela or Carmie.

I have corrected a few people several times, but they still persist. I have taken to just ignoring them.

This thread keeps rising to the top, so I have to ask: Who Is Katia? I presume she's a model. So many people here know their names; and I don't have a clue.

rms1954 — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 02:36:04 GMT

I care. If you didn't why read the post and make this comment?

She's the very slender tall model.

@qbetzforreal

B-I-N-G-O!

I remember way back when she was a new model on the QVC scene. She was modeling a Susan Graver item. Susan Graver went over to her to highlight the item for sale. To Susan's credit, she very nicely asked Katia her name. Then Susan repeated it. The pronunciation stuck with me.

The scene left me with a very favorable impression of Susan Graver. She cared enough to get the model's name right.

Names, as well as languages, are important. I'm sure Katia felt good that someoe cared enough to get her name right.
