Is this acceptable?

[SqueakyChicken]

Okay, I'm going to change names here but please imagine a very similar situation.

My name is Christina but almost everyone day to day calls me Tina. I absolutely love a baby girl name and nothing else really interests me. The only problem is... it's Nina.

Is this acceptable? I can't decide whether people will people think I'm mad rhyming my name with my daughter's? Or, if no one uses mother and daughter's name together so it doesn't matter? Help!

It's not something I would do but it's not terrible.

[Starlighter]

Change your name to Chris!

[SqueakyChicken]

Thanks everyone! I really do love the name but I take your point it will be odd. I like the suggestion of Nina as a nickname, that might work... or changing my name

I knew a lady called Zoe with a DD called Chloe.
I wouldn't do it, but she was happy.
You really could make a much worse choice.

[TuddlesAndSisses]

My name almost rhymes with my mothers, people have commented on it a handful of times only and it's not a big deal. I'm not sure if more people commented when I was younger though

[SuperBeagle]

Nina is a lovely name, but I wouldn't do it.

It'd be like me having the name Lily and calling my child Billy/Billie. Or a man named Fred having a son named Ted. It's too samey.

What a shame people are putting you off. It really doesn't matter.
Don't let people influence you over such a trivial matter.

[buttercup54321]

It could end up driving you mad when people make silly comments. I really don't like Nina but If I was you and really wanted it then I would have it, Your baby so your choice.

[DramaAlpaca]

It won't matter, really it won't. My name is very similar in sound to one of my DC's and nobody has ever commented.

[AberdeenAngusina]

I think it will be ok. I know a couple of mother / daughter combinations with similar sounding names, not quite a rhymey as Tina and Nina, but close. It hasn't been a problem for them.

[HoratioNightboy]

I know sisters Sharon and Karen, but I'd known them several years before it dawned on me that they rhymed. I guess I identfied each name to the individual person rather than as a matching pair of words. Or maybe I'm just a bit thick.
