Do you know many Ninas?

This is our top contender name for DD. Well known name, internationally used and uncomplicated pronunciation. I can imagine it suiting a child and an adult.

I was wondering how common it is where you are in babies/toddlers atm?

I only know a couple of adult (40-50 yr old) Ninas.

Its a lovely name.

Two Nina's, both four years old. Lovely name!

No help at all I thought you wrote ninjas and was just about to say my friends a karate teacher 😂😂😂

wildthingsinthenight · 06/07/2024 18:18

I love it!

Lamelie · 06/07/2024 18:18

I know one in her 20’s.
It’s a great name.

Beginningless · 06/07/2024 18:18

I agree it’s an elegant, timeless name. I know one, aged 14.

Watto1 · 06/07/2024 18:18

One aged 50. I love it. I wanted it for DD but dh wasn’t keen.

LlynTegid · 06/07/2024 18:19

Only known one.

The name reminds me of a song by Ian Dury- Billericay Dickie (song not suitable for work!)

Gugel · 06/07/2024 18:20

One who is eight. I quite like it.

DogsAndKidsAndSport · 06/07/2024 18:21

I know a few- all teenagers and all lovely. A fab choice!

BCBird · 06/07/2024 18:21

Teacher here. In my 30 year career have taught one Nina. Think she is of Polish descent.

Sandysandwich · 06/07/2024 18:22

One, aged 26, not met any babies with it. Its a really nice name

MistyHazelFox · 06/07/2024 18:25

I think it's name that is not overly used, but often used sporadically.
Some say it like Nine-a, some as Nee-na/Nena and I'm saying this because you mentioned uncomplicated pronunciation, but Nine-a seems to be older English pronunciation that is sometimes used.

andjustlikethat1 · 06/07/2024 18:28

I like Mina, Tina and Nina I think they are cute names

GreenMarigold · 06/07/2024 18:36

Lovely name. I’ve never met a Nina!

caringcarer · 06/07/2024 18:57

Only one Nina, but she is late fifties.

ajanifear · 06/07/2024 18:59

I know one in her late twenties and one in her fifties (I think)

Pombearprincess · 06/07/2024 19:03

One aged 4 and one who is 34. Lovely name.

amylou8 · 06/07/2024 19:04

I misread this as Ninja and came to recommend you my air fryer.

Lovely name, obviously Nina not Ninja.

viques · 06/07/2024 19:05

Knew one at school, she will be old now, like me! It’s a lovely name, unusual but not out there.

Partyrings123 · 06/07/2024 19:08

2, one aged 5 and one aged 43.

Moreteaandchocolate · 06/07/2024 19:27

I love it and don’t know any

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 06/07/2024 19:32

I live it and agree that it is quite straightforward internationally too.

SallyWD · 06/07/2024 19:33

Only one who's 45 and her real name is Christina.

blondieminx · 06/07/2024 19:34

I know two (one is 5, the other is 10). Lovely elegant name!
