Thoughts on the name Nina?

[pjsgalore]

I adore the name Nina, think it sounds so feminine and pretty, but my sister thinks it sounds like a granny's name..DH thinks it's okaaay.
Any thoughts?

I love it :) Wish I had called my daughter that.

I think it's a lovely name

I love it- dd had a nursery nurse called Nina and she adored her, and she wasn't at all granny like

It's lovely. I've only ever met one Nina,she's in the 23-25 age bracket. Would never have pinned it down as a granny name!

I love the name, I may have used it for my PFB... only heard positives about it, and we haven't met another child with the same name. Go for it, I'm sure you won't regret it!.

I have a Nina. She's is beautiful, calm and kind

It's not grannyish. Florence, Lily, Rose, Daisy etc are grannyish (though I like them), and Nina doesn't fit in with them at all. I'd be surprised if it was used much at all in the UK before maybe the 1960s/70s.

...and the Neurons.

I love it, but DP has vetoed it. Not sure why.

Love it!!

I know a Nina who's full name is actually Janina.....

Love it, if DS had been a DD this would have been the one we chose.

Sorry I'm not keen , always makes me think if nee naw

I like it. It makes me think of Nina Carberry - who has succeeded in a man's field!

I know a baby Nina, but to me its a 30 year olds name as I went to school with loads of Nina's.

My Nina is 4. Love it. Classic.

I like it, I know 2 little Ninas and they are both nice girls.

We have a Nina. Its simple, beautiful and cool! Great choice!

Lovely name. Only ever taught one Nina and that was 22 years ago, it's time for a comeback!

Thanks everybody!! I'll keep Nina firmly on the top of my list then! DH beginning to like it too

I love it, it was on my shortlist for dd3 - didn't go with it in the end but think its a lovely lovely name.

I love it, DH wasn't so keen and we've now got a Nia (Welsh for radiance) which suits her perfectly. My DM also thinks Nina is an old lady name!
