I love the name Nina but I don't think I want it as the official first name. What are some names that Nina could be a nickname of? My mom suggested Kristina....I don't know if I can see Nina coming from that!
-
Maybe: janine, annina, nicolina, evelina, stefanie/stefania, katerina, karenina?
-
Katrina, Laneia.
hmm, trying to think of some more. -
My full name is Christina, and my parents have called me Tina ever since I was a baby... I would have preferred Nina!!
I also thought Janine.
-
I like janine, but Nina is fine as a first name, it doesnt have to be a nickname
-
The amazing and beautiful
Nina Dobrev is just a Nina.
-
I like Nina by itself!
-
@JustlikeHeaven: haha she is amazing and beautiful!
I like Nina as a stand alone name, personally
-
I know a Nina, her first name is Sarina.
-
Another vote for just making the first name Nina! I've always assumed it was a stand alone name and not a nickname for something else.
-
My best friend used Nina as her daughters middle name!
-
I like Nina as a standalone name better than the "long versions." But if you really don't like it... there is also Sabrina, Marina, Serena that could work.
-
I like Nina by its self!
-
I know someone with the legal first name as Nina. I think it works fine on it's own!
-
I was nearly a Nina, just Nina not short for anything. Beautiful name
-
I love Nina! I had a friend in college named Nina - just Nina.
I also looove Nina Dobrev!
-
I love the name Nina, it was on our shortlist. I don't think it needs to be a nickname.
-
My sister is Nina as her full name
-
@sorrycharlie: @JustlikeHeaven: I need to Google her!
-
love Nina as a first name, LOVE
-
I like the idea of Nina as a nickname.
-
I love Nina!
-
Nina is a common name among Filipinas. Two close people in my life are Nina's. One has Nina as her legal first name and the other as a nickname (her legal name doesn't sound like Nina at all, but it means "little girl" in our culture; she was nicknamed that since she's the first girl in her family).
-
NINA IS A SUPER CUTE FIRST NAME BY ITSELF.
I ALSO LOVE THE NAME MARINA, BUT BECAUSE I LOVE THE WATER AND BEING OUT ON THE BOAT. I LIKE IT'S "MARINE" IMPLICATIONS.
SORRY FOR THE CAPS. PHONE IS BROKEN.
-
I know a Kristina who goes by Nina.
-
Oh also wanted to add that I love the names Nina and Lina, but I couldn't choose one of those because it would rhyme with my own name (Tina) and that's just a little too cutesy
-
DH says he likes Nina as is or Kristina!
-
LaShawndanina or shaqnina.
-
love nina by itself.
angelina?
-
I like Nina on it's own too.
I think anything that ends in the "ina" sounds. Serena, Evelina, Angelina, Catrina, Serafina, etc.
-
I had an Aunt Nina that it wasn't short for anything and I went to school with a Nina not short for anything. I think it can stand alone!
Funny thing though... my Aunt Nina was not pronounced "Knee-na", but "Nigh-nah"... Good old Southern/Country pronounciation
You won't run into that issue though, I've never heard anyone else say it that way!
-
@CarrieLouWho: My mom's coworker pronounced it the same way as your aunt!
-
I love Nina by its self!
-
@anonysquire: Um...no!
-
@AutumnLove - hilarious! I never knew anyone else to say it that way!
