Love it.

natto · 31/10/2010 21:11

I love it. It's my sister's name, as far as I know she always liked it. It's very international and easy to spell/pronounce yet not at all popular for some unknown reason.

Well I like it! I did have the siren jokes when I was younger but it really wasn't a big deal. I like the fact you don't meet too many other people with the same name but it's not so "out there" that people don't know how to spell it etc

Was my girl's name alternative for DS.

I know a Nina, its her nickname, actual name is Karena.

Like Nina, love Karena

I know a Nina, but her full name is Antonina (she's Italian).

I think it's a nice name and not too popular.

I know a 10 yr old Nina. It's an unusual name and attractive (and I always think Nina Pretty Ballerina, from Abba).

I really like the name Nina. The only 'problem' with it for me is I feel like it should be short for something. Don't know why

fedupofnamechanging · 03/11/2010 14:53

I love it. It makes me think of a glamourous woman. It's also quite unusual, which is also nice

mathanxiety · 03/11/2010 16:29
, and Nina Persson spring to mind, so Sweden in general Smile. I love it, but I think it suits a girl who is petite, and I don't know how it ages

My sil is Nerina, nn Nina. Nice, unusual, only met 2 in my life, other one was american.

bruffin · 04/11/2010 00:58

My aunty Nina full name is Katarina

smother · 04/11/2010 22:31

Simone.
But what a fantastic association that is!

Jojay · 04/11/2010 22:34

I love it. Its the name of my imaginary future DD Grin

PompeyDot · 05/11/2010 09:48

Makes me think of Ian Dury's song "Billericay Dickie" and his affair with Nina in the Cortina, who screamed like a hyena.

pissedrightoff · 10/11/2010 23:25

Smother That's exactly who inspired my choice Grin

Beautiful. I just added it to my shortlist!

pissedrightoff · 13/12/2010 18:11

Dagnammit- scan just revealed I'm having a boy, so no Nina for me.

(Disclaimer-I am delighted I am having a boy, my next cat/hamster/goldfish shall be called Nina)

A moot point now, but love Nina :).

Congratulations on your baby boy!

lowrib · 14/12/2010 05:44

I was also going to say it makes me think of Nina Simone.

telsa · 14/12/2010 11:33
