Christina - too dated?

[whatausername]

Is it in the same category as Tracey or is it like Rebecca and Sarah and possible to use once more? 😛

P.s. sorry to any Traceys or parents of Traceys!

No, I wouldn’t bracket in with Tracey.

It’s more like Caroline or Helena to my mind. Due a comeback and very pretty.

It's a lovely name, I hope it becomes popular again.

I'm one. 90's baby so not to far in the past. More Christine's around me than other christinas

I don't think its in the same vein as Tracey nor do I think it is like Sarah. It probably fits more with names like Patricia, Martina, Nora, Vicky. Growing up, I knew a few Christina and Christine's - they were all eventually shortened to Chris, Tina or Chrissie. I know one baby Christina. I was surprised when her parents announced her name. Their other children have quite different names.

I have an American aunt called Christina, we call her chrissie I always thought it was quite a nice name

It's lovely, really nice. It's funny, but I see it in a totally different way to Christine, which is very dated. The only thing is I don't like any of the usual diminutives. The only one I know is in her 20s and never shortens it.

I like it

I like it! Also love Caroline...not Carolyn...

Just don't spell it Xtina

Love Christina. And Chrissie would be a cute nickname for a little girl.

A Polish spelling is Krystyna.

My younger sister is a 'Kristina' but she's always gone by Krissy.

I love the name Christina. Yes, It is dated. However that's not a,bad thing. Dated can be also cool and retro.

I love it, Christy or Chrissie are lovely nicknames too.

Lovely name. Classic.

Beautiful name. Never met one!

I see it as classic rather than dated. Lovely name.

Christa is nice too. Or Cristobel.

I like it. I have a cousin in her 20s with this name and it really suits her. I don't think I've ever taught one over the last 8 years either.

Lovely name, I also like Christabel

A Swedish friend is Cristina and an Aussie Kristine.

Alternatives could be Kirsten and or Kristen.

It's a lovely name due a comeback.

I think of it as classic like Elizabeth or Mary i.e. I've come across a baby with this name in recent years but not more than one

It nice, not dated. It’s a classic name.

I do think it’s dated, but not in a horrible way. Christiana would be a slight more contemporary-sounding version.
