Do you know many Ninas?

[monaaay]

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 vaguely know one who is in her 40s. I’m not a big fan of it but it seems to be quite well-liked from the other responses.

But definitely not common which I guess is your main concern.

i know a grown-up Nina, and a kid one. Love the name!

Nope, and I've never taught one in 10 years at primary schools either

Absolutely love it.

I know two in their 50s.
It’s a name I really dislike but
judging by this thread it’s a well liked name.

Quite a lot in Cambridge right now - early teens and younger.

East London here. Know 6 aged between 7 and 11.

One little Nina in my family (5)

I've only ever known one girl who was in my 19 year olds year at school. I like it.

It's clearly not made it up north then!😂
If you like Nina you could also consider Erin or Etta, similar vibes

Zero! It's around 140th on the baby name lists - I know as it was our 2nd choice girls name, loved it for all the reasons you mentioned.

This was my top choice if I was having a girl this time but I'm having a boy, I love it! I only know of one in her 30s

One in her early 20s and another in mid teens

3, aged 35, 11 and 3.

Yes she’s 13 or 14 and she’s lovely

i absolutely love the name - it’s classy and cool and really perfect 👍

I too know one ages about 26. I wonder if we know the same Nina?

I don't know any

One who is pronounced Nine-a, lovely person, 50's.

I know a 3 yr old and a 30 something. I think it’s a lovely name

@MistyHazelFox , my great aunt was a Nine-a. Born to Irish immigrants in NW England in 1890-something. I've never heard of another. Do you think it's a regional pronunciation?

One in her 20s. Never met another.

Folks, the OP asked whether you currently know any babies called Nina, not ones in their teens/20s/30s/40s/50s+......

@JanglyBeads , I only know 4 little babies and none of them are called Nina.

I don’t know any. South West.

Around 1980 I had a lovely babysitter called Nina, who would have been in her mid to late teens. Last year I taught a 12 year old French Nina (who was a pain in the derrière).

Is it a "real" name or is it short for something? The only thing I can think of that it might be short for is Annina, which would make it a diminutive of a diminutive if Annina is from Anna.
