We love this name and know v few but I wonder whether others so. If you know them are they in England or is it more an international popularity?

any opinions on the name also welcome.

Love that name, only every known one, Great choice.

Mimilamore · 11/09/2023 18:04

Lovely name but doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. Only know of one other who is about 34..

Phos · 11/09/2023 17:53

I don’t really like it sorry! In terms of popularity, I don’t know any personally but think there’s one in DDs school who is in year 4.

DarkSpark · 11/09/2023 17:50

I know one who is 39 and one who is 8. I don't like it sorry, it sounds whiny to me, I think it's the nee sound.

MK19590 · 11/09/2023 17:21

I knew a Nina at school who would be about 25 now

RuthW · 11/09/2023 17:15

I know one, early 20s

Florenceatemycake · 10/09/2023 18:18

LOVE IT. If we have a girl, that's what I'd like to call her.

Member589500 · 10/09/2023 18:11

I’ve always loved it. Simple and classic. I know three; two over 30 and one baby and all of South Asian descent.

wotsitsarelowincalories · 10/09/2023 18:06

I have met two in my life.

Both now in their late 30s- early 40s.

Both brunettes.

One, annoying woman from my then council estate.

The other an intelligent and funny Russian woman with a sister called Anna.

I think the name is fine.

dressedforcomfort · 10/09/2023 18:00

I know 1 and she's in her 40's.

I don't like it as a name though....

lilyblue5 · 06/09/2023 11:43

Very cute name :)

mosiacmaker · 06/09/2023 11:42

I know a Canadian Nina who is late 20s and very cool.

boysmuminherts · 06/09/2023 11:41

Nice name. I know 1 Nina aged 12 in my son's class, parents not British.

SpanielsMatter · 06/09/2023 11:39

2 and both were deeply pleasant people.

I only know 1 Nina under 30 so personally it's not my cup of tea, but if your into more uncommon- old fashioned names then go for it! x

Howtohideasausage · 05/09/2023 21:14

I know 6 aged 11 and under. East London. I like it.

CloseYourMouthLynn · 05/09/2023 21:11

We have a Carina, school age. We call her Nina for short as it's all she could say when she was a toddler. I think it's a lovely name!

CapEBarra · 05/09/2023 20:05

I like it. It passes the Judgey Judgement Test - I.e. if Nina was in a court of law would she be the judge or the defendant? She’d totally be the judge!

astarsheis · 05/09/2023 20:05

I only knew one and she is 29, very pretty with a strong personality...and then I was chatting with a young dad in London yesterday and his little 4 year old was called Nina.

I love the name!

Purplecatshopaholic · 05/09/2023 20:02

Lovely name. My friends 14 year old is Nina.

jays · 05/09/2023 19:58

I don’t know anyone with this name and I absolutely love it!

Qilin · 05/09/2023 19:54

It's not a name I'd chose for my own child, but there's nothing particularly wrong with it either, it's just not my preference.

I have taught one child called Nina. She will be 8 now I think.

Notellinganyone · 05/09/2023 19:50

Love it and don’t know any apart from in books!

peaceinourtime · 05/09/2023 19:30

It’s nice but I think Nia is better.

mathanxiety · 05/09/2023 01:48

I know one, in the US.

Her name suited her much better when she was a wispy ballerina of 10. She's in her late 20s now and is no longer wispy.
