I know two Ninas under the age of five and I wondered whether it is about to go through a resurgence?

In my minds it is a timeless name but DH thinks its a bit 1980s/noughties.

I only know a Nina who is in her late 20's now. It is a beautiful name. Use it if you like it and can persuade DH it is a timeless name.

I know a 40 year old and no others, it is a lovely name.

The only nina I know is my Greek aunt and she is in her 70s. It is short for Katernina

I know an 11yo and a 44yo Nina.

Nice name, not too common, but the 44yo Nina is someone I can't bear, so that colours the name for me a little!

I know a Nina who is in her 20s, no little ones that I can think of. I really like the name.

I know a 6yo Nina - she is funky. It was on my list for a DD, but have 3 x DSs, and stopping Grin.

AgathaPinchBottom · 20/12/2011 22:23

A friend of mine has just had a little girl and called her Nina. It's a lovely, unusual choice.

MerylStrop · 20/12/2011 22:21

My dd (who is almost 5)
Other than that I only know awesome women called Nina in their forties and their eighties.
Of course I think it's timeless. Although the ghost of Nina Myscow's dreadful dress sense lingers

ReadingTeaLeaves · 20/12/2011 22:17

I know a 4 month old Nina

hohohoshedittant · 20/12/2011 21:10

mathanxiety · 20/12/2011 20:18

I know a 14 year old Nina who is Bad News. An unfriendly little toughie.

RillaBlythe · 20/12/2011 19:49

my 3 yo is called Nina. We've met one other.

latrucha · 20/12/2011 19:07

I don't know any. It was my dream name when I was little. I'd forgotten that until now. Smile It's a good name.

pinkhebe · 20/12/2011 19:03

I know a 9 yr old

MrsDobalina · 20/12/2011 19:02

I know a 5 year old Nina too. It was quite a popular name in my primary school when I was a kid (so I see why your DP thinks its from the 80s!). I think it's timeless though.

EvilTwins · 20/12/2011 19:01

I know a 4 yr old Nina.

AnotherMincepie · 20/12/2011 19:00

RueDeWakening · 20/12/2011 18:10

I know a Nina who is mid-20s and another who is about 3. Not related to each other.
