Which spelling? And so you think it is dated?
Middle names will be Mary Kim. And do you think I should avoid Mary because of the Christ and Mary link?
Nickname will most likely be used and will be Krissy/Chrissy etc

None of them. It's my name and I hate it to be honest. It's definitely dated now, and I never liked it to start with!

Marcipex · 14/03/2019 09:12

Kristina Mary Kim. Lovely name.
I would keëp Mary, it separates the K sounds nicely.

EntirelyAnonymised · 14/03/2019 09:13

Ch for me.

Easterbunnyiscomingsoon · 14/03/2019 09:13

Kristina of you must use it!

DramaAlpaca · 14/03/2019 09:13

I prefer Christina.

Marcipex · 14/03/2019 09:14

Oh dear Stormwhale

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 14/03/2019 09:16

Christina if any-definitely not Kristina

MercyBodle · 14/03/2019 10:06

I prefer Christina. I would use Mary Kim in the middle - Mary has been a very popular middle name so I wouldn't worry about particular connections, and rarely are all the names used together anyway. In fact the 3 names sound very good together. I see Christina as a classic name and Chrissy as an appealing nn.

I prefer Kristina Mary Kim

Bumblebeesmum · 14/03/2019 10:37

Sounds like a 40-50 year old.

MumUnderTheMoon · 14/03/2019 10:51

Kristina nn Kitt

BlueMerchant · 14/03/2019 10:54

Dated. I don't like it but not sure if it's the name itself or a horrible Christina I went to school with. It is definitely dated though and there are so many nice names to choose from.

pepperpot99 · 14/03/2019 10:55

Love it, any version is nice.

SwedishEdith · 14/03/2019 10:57

Love it. Chrissie or Tina are great nicknames. But great as a full name as well. I like the K spelling but life might be easier with Ch.

Linguaphile · 14/03/2019 21:25

Christina. Classic. The others seem like trendy spellings.

bridgetreilly · 14/03/2019 21:49

I think I like Cristina best, and Kristina better than Christina. I think it's totally fine with the middle names you've chosen.

Fifthtimelucky · 14/03/2019 23:03

Ch version for me too.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 14/03/2019 23:05

I don't think Cristina unless you are a Spanish speaker. Kristina is harsh to me and actually really liķe Christina.

NannyR · 14/03/2019 23:08

I would go for Christina, unless you are using Kristina or Cristina for cultural reasons/links to another country. I really like the name, Chrissy or Christy are nice nicknames too.

Antonin · 15/03/2019 15:27

If you professs to be aChristian then Christina, otherwise Cristina. Christina is the feminine of Christopher, Christ bearer. Cristina is thee non religious version.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 15/03/2019 15:32

Kristina is my preference, especially with your chosen middle names

Cristina without the H looks odd to me

It is a bit dated IMO but it's a classic and I like the shortenings (Kris or Krissie)

Pieceofpurplesky · 15/03/2019 15:33

How about Kristiana or Kristie. Kristina (Christina) is dated

daisypond · 15/03/2019 15:37

Christina is very nice. Kristina or Cristina are fine if you've got roots to countries that would spell it those ways. I don't think it's dated. Christine is dated a little, but not Christina, which I'm not convinced has ever been popular enough to date.

Sicario · 15/03/2019 15:40

Am I the only person who feels a shudder when people want to mess with the spellings of beautiful, classic names? What a legacy to visit upon a baby...

scandilover · 15/03/2019 15:50

Only Christina
