Nina - how many do you know

How many Ninas do you know, how old are they and is their name shortened from a longer name?

I think the name uncommon, my husband thinks they are everywhere, I think it’s timeless, he thinks it’s recently resurged, I think it’s fine on its own, he thinks it’s always a diminutive of something longer.

I know lots of Ninas. Feels like a weird baby name to me just because all the ones I know are women my age.
It's pretty though

Really... I find that difficult to believe as it is way down on the list of common girls names...unless your German because it is quite a common name in Germany and Russia and also in the Indian culture with a different spelling.
I have lived in this country for 40 years and have only ever come across one Nina

One is 23 and one who is 5 and named after her great grandma

I know about 5 but this is because they all from mixed marriages and this name works well with Eastern European and Asian heritages

It’s a lovely name.
