So DH and I both like Nina but I'd prefer it if it was a shortened version. Problem is I'm struggling to think of names that can be shortened to Nina. Not a fan of Georgia or Antonia. Anyone got any suggestions that we may not have thought of?

Just Nina! It's lovely.

I think Nina is a lovely name just by itself

We may end up going with just Nina. It's just that our surname is quite short and sounds better with a longer first name

Why not just Nina? It is a real name, one of my favourites at the moment. Although, here are some names I know of / have heard:

Antonina
Janina
Penina
Yonina

Not as nice as Nina in it's own right though, IMO.

Love Nina, and I think it works well on its own.

The only Nina I know is short for Janina (Polish, pronounces Yanina), which I don't like as much.

Nina as it is.

I love Nina just as it is, beautiful name.

I love Nina! One of my all time favourites since Truly, Madly, Deeply. Can’t think of a longer version though,

Nina! As it stands! Gorgeous.

Georgina? Georgiana? Catarina? Catriona/Catrina?

My friend has a DD called Nina as a full name and it's lovely.

Christina?

I do think Nina is a great name in its own right
