If spelt like this would you assume we'd spelt it wrong? We're not British but live in UK and wondering whether to go with our spelling or with the 'h'.

I like it better actually.

Go with your spelling, I think it looks better.

I think people understand it's an international name and has various spellings in different languages, so I'm, sure no-one would think you'd spelt it wrong. And it looks prettier this way!

Love the name but I'd spell it Christina, which most people know. Otherwise she may end up having to spell it
Out her whole life

Love it. We know a Kristiana which is also very pretty

i wouldn't think wrong spelling, I would assume a Cristina was Spanish or Latin American, but I've spent a lot of time travelling and working over there and met quite a few Cristinas. Regardless, it's a lovely name.

I wouldn't think you'd spelt it wrong, as there are loads of different spellings of that name. My dd has the spelling Krystyna in her name which is Polish.

DiscordiaVanDiemen · 19/08/2016 15:03

I know several Christinas (Danish, American, English) one Cristina (Italian) one Kristina (English) and one Krystyna (Polish)

It's a pretty common name. I like it though, with all its various spellings.

When I was 3 I chose Christina as sister's middle name as I loved "Flambards".

Cristina like the Infanta is a beautiful name and I like the Spanish spelling Flowers

I wouldn't be surprised by that spelling you do see it around eg Cristina yang greys anatomy, I think there are a few equally valid spellings

SerenDippitee · 20/08/2016 17:12

I'd assume that you had Spanish or Hispanic heritage and had spelt it correctly.
