Nina - how many do you know

How many Ninas do you know, how old are they and is their name shortened from a longer name?

I think the name uncommon, my husband thinks they are everywhere, I think it’s timeless, he thinks it’s recently resurged, I think it’s fine on its own, he thinks it’s always a diminutive of something longer.

One who's in her 40s

ourflagmeansdeath · 29/04/2023 13:43

It's lovely! Just 1, and it's her full name and she's around 30ish I'd say? It's not common where I am at all.

One. She is 17.

A beautiful girl with a beautiful name.

I suspect at least some of the early 30's women are named after Nina in Truly, Madly, Deeply - one of my favourite films. Nina was a gorgeous character played by Juliet Stevenson. I've loved it ever since and it would have been on my list if it had gone a bit better with our second name.

I actually don't know any irl, the Christinas I know get Tina. Go for it, it's gorgeous.
