Tina

Can I go for Tina or is it too old fashioned ?

Tina is a name of my age group (50). There was at least one in every class. Christina etc with Tina as a nn is better as Tina by itself is dated.

I’d also go for something longer to give her a choice when older. Personally I find Tina quite dated and don’t really like it.

Here’s a list of names that end in Tina.

I like Christina.

Dated.

I like it, I also have a friend who spells her name Teena (not English)

I'm not a fan tbh, it sounds a bit dated and a bit lower class, if that bothers you

I do like Christina though and could get behind Martina too at a push, both could use NN Tina but would give her other options

I love it. Hardly used nowadays and it's a nice name. Go for it

I like it, I also have a friend who spells her name Teena (not English)

I wouldn’t would remind people of tena ( san pro)

It’s old fashioned and quite aging-barmaid-down-on-her-luck

But Christina is quite nice

Not a fan, sorry. Kristina maybe?

I like Tina, but then I also love Rita

I love Rita too, and Tina.

I also love Kay.

It’s old fashioned and quite aging-barmaid-down-on-her-luck

Tina by itself is a bit flimsy. It's better when short for something interesting.

‘A bit lower class?’ Please do clue us in to the lovely acceptable middle class names that are superior to a normal name like Tina.

Tina is sweet. Christina is quite dated in America but would be chic and lovely on a European. I say this as I really like Christina but DH is American and has vetoed it.

So yes use Tina if you fancy it, it's a darling little name.

I love Tina! Sparkly, easy to spell, works internationally. What's not to love? It's pretty

Did you end up using the name Tina?

It's very 70s barmaid. If you like it just use it as short for Christina or something, so she can dump it if she wants.

Tina is so refreshing that n this sea of Evies, Ellies and Izzies...! I like it!

"Tina! come get your ham"

One of my bff's is called Tina. And she is lovely. Go for it

I think Tina is in the Dawn, Wendy, Denise territory- not modern but not old & I’m not keen.

Valentina is really lovely though😃

My friend is a Tina. It was ages before I found out she is actually a Christina! But I think it's fine as a standalone name.

All the Tinas I know are now almost 60. There were about 5 in my year at school. Not an easy name to abbreviate but unfortunately still do to 'Teen'. Don't dislike it though
