Tina

[strawberrymilkshake123]

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

If I went on the sound of the name alone and not the associations I have with it, I would say yes it's a lovely name.

However I can only visualise the menacing girl from 1992 standing over me with a hot metal rod trying to burn my hand in a science lesson. I can still see her eyes.

If I met a baby Tina though it would no doubt rid me of that horrible image.

it's pretty. Christina is nice if you want a longer name. Valentina is too frilly for me. I know several Christinas and Cristinas, and the ones who go by Tina are definitely middle class and intelligent
