Which spelling? And so you think it is dated?
Middle names will be Mary Kim. And do you think I should avoid Mary because of the Christ and Mary link?
Nickname will most likely be used and will be Krissy/Chrissy etc

Kristina looks a bit Kardashian wannabe to me. Sorry OP!

RoseMartha · 26/03/2019 23:05

Christina

Nnnnnineteen · 26/03/2019 23:04

I worked with a Cristina who was a very beautiful and kind Romanian woman. I would assume if with a K it was of Germanic or Scandinavian descent.

Kristina, it's a modern twist on Christina, which i sort of prefer, but I think maybe you are right about putting it together with Mary.

Puffinhead · 26/03/2019 20:58

Christa is a great nn.

aliceandkids77 · 26/03/2019 20:56

out of the three spellings I prefer Kristina because I think the K adds a bit of spunk

MikeUniformMike · 26/03/2019 20:46

Christina

LouB1990 · 26/03/2019 20:44

Oh I love Kristina 🙂 was going to use it as a middle name but we are having a boy x

Christina. unless, as pps have said your background means you'd spell with a K.

I think it's pretty.

foxtiger · 22/03/2019 18:25

Christina, unless you're a nationality that usually spells it another way. Nice name. Think I might like Christy best as a short form but actually I like the full Christina more!

CatkinToadflax · 17/03/2019 10:55

My DM (in her 70s) is a Christina. Throughout her life she's had people misreading/mishearing her name and assuming she's a Christine. It drives her mad!

NinnieNouse · 17/03/2019 10:14

Chrissie? Horrible name!

LazyLizzy · 17/03/2019 10:13

Christina nn Nina is lovely.

Mollie85 · 17/03/2019 10:02

Not keen, much prefer Kristen or Kirsten which is of the same ilk and sounds a bit fresher to my ears

Freyanna · 16/03/2019 23:22

Christina for me.

Sophronia · 16/03/2019 22:48

Christina is nice. I don’t think it’s dated - Christine is though.

emilybrontescorsett · 16/03/2019 15:10

Christina.
I like it.

HollyBen · 16/03/2019 14:09

My grandmother was Christina nn Chrissy. She'd be in her 90s if she was still with us. I actually prefer Kristina but am not at all keen on the Krissy nn

lljkk · 16/03/2019 14:04

I'm not keen on Crissy but rest is fine by me. Christina is very pretty.
Mary is very nice, too.

AuntieStella · 16/03/2019 13:59

I would spell it Christine

I think Kristina is fine as well

Kokeshi123 · 16/03/2019 13:56

Christina.

Could be Christie or Kitty as a NN.

DidYeeAye · 15/03/2019 20:20

Christina. My name is Christine so probably why that version looks the best lol I like it as a name and it's good you gave accepted Chris/ Chrissy as the probable nickname

Crusoe · 15/03/2019 18:17

Lovely name. I’ve always liked the Cristina spelling.

Cookit · 15/03/2019 18:15

Christina.

TatianaLarina · 15/03/2019 17:58

Christa.

Christina is a bit dated.
