Catalina is a solid practice name: a capital “C” and 7 lowercase letters that mix easy lines and curves with a few strokes taking more control. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letters “t” and “l” reach the top guide line — a common slip is stopping them at the height of the small letters instead. Because Catalina was the #111 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Catalina tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.
How each letter in Catalina is formed:
- C — One open curve: start just below the top line, swing up and over to the left, round the bottom, and stop before closing the circle.
- a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side. Catalina uses it three times.
- t — A tallish line down that curves gently at the bottom, crossed with a short bar at the midline rather than the top.
- l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
- i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.
- n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.
Three of Catalina's 8 letters stand full height on the guides — “C”, “t” and “l”. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.
Catalina is one of the long ones: just 206 of the 1,918 names on this site run eight letters or more. On the 2025 girls' list it sits in the wide middle stretch, with 843 of the 953 girls' names on this site ranking behind it.
Catalina was the #111 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. Each sheet prints as a single page on US Letter or A4, carrying three-line handwriting guides with a fourth descender line underneath.
Tips for tracing Catalina
- At 8 letters, Catalina is a lot to take in one pass — cover the first 4 letters in one session and the remainder in the next before joining them up.
- The dot on “i” comes at the very end of Catalina: trace every letter body, then go back and dot.
- Call out “tall, small, tall, small, tall, small, small, small” as the pencil moves — naming each letter's height is the quickest fix for uneven sizing in Catalina.
- Close with a single unguided Catalina on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.
Customization options
Font style
The dotted style breaks each letter of Catalina into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.
Letter size
The size option changes the guide-line height. Catalina is a longer name, so medium or small keeps every letter on the line — save large for isolated stroke practice.
Number of practice lines
Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
