For someone who isn’t religious, is [name_f]Christina[/name_f] an odd pick? I love the way it sounds as a middle name for [name_f]Anna[/name_f]; very bright and clear.
Whether you believe in God or not, a name is just a name 
If it really bothers you, you can combine it to [name_f]Christiana[/name_f]. But [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f] is very sweet <3
I disagree with above.
As a fellow atheist, I avoid names with religious connotation or meaning where possible (names of family members excluded). This is probably because meanings of names are important to me and I would prefer to name them something that has meaning to me. If meaning is not important to you, then go for it. It has a pretty sound with [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
I’m an atheist too, and it doesn’t seem strange at all to me. [name_f]Christina[/name_f] is a very nice middle for [name_f]Anna[/name_f].
I think that since it’s such a common name, you don’t really have to be religious in order to use the name. I think many people don’t even see it as a ‘religious name’ any more.
I think an atheist would have a hard time avoiding all religious names, so I understand that but, personally, I feel that anything containing ‘[name_m]Christ[/name_m]’ should definitely be avoided. It seems a bit hypocritical to me, to declare a non belief but then use a name containing the moniker of someone you don’t believe in… 
I’m not an atheist but I do think a name is just a name. Unless it was something obviously from the bible I would never think that a name had been chosen for that specific reason. Its a lovely combo.
The child would probably think it was a bit strange, and probably more than just a bit annoying if they weren’t religious, that their name meant “follower of [name_m]Christ[/name_m]”.
As an atheist I would feel uncomfortable giving my child such a religious name - as anonymousperson says it means “follower of [name_m]Christ[/name_m]”. I’d be okay with saints’ names but [name_f]Christina[/name_f] is a step too far, it would be like wearing a necklace with a cruxifix on for me - appropriating something from another’s belief system.
If you like the “tina” ending maybe consider [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], [name_f]Albertina[/name_f], [name_f]Martina[/name_f], [name_f]Clementina[/name_f], [name_f]Austina[/name_f], [name_f]Artina[/name_f], [name_f]Bettina[/name_f], [name_f]Katina[/name_f]/[name_f]Catina[/name_f], [name_f]Celestina[/name_f], [name_f]Augustina[/name_f], [name_f]Martina[/name_f], Loutina, [name_f]Mistina[/name_f], [name_f]Robertina[/name_f], [name_f]Constantina[/name_f], [name_f]Faustina[/name_f], [name_f]Florentina[/name_f], [name_f]Gertina[/name_f], [name_f]Justina[/name_f], [name_f]Larentina[/name_f], [name_f]Tristina[/name_f], Isabetina, Caritina etc… https://nameberry.com/search/?contains=tina&starts_with=&language_id=&syllables=&page=1&derivation=&ends_with=&gender=
That is exactly my problem! I consider myself somewhere between atheist and buddhist, so apparently I am not religious at all…
BUT I am for sure using [name_f]Christina[/name_f] (or its variation) as a middle name for any future daughter. [name_f]Christina[/name_f] was my beloved grandmother who was a second mummy to me and suddenly passed away after only a couple of months of fighting cancer. I was 12 then and lost somebody I probably loved the most in my life. Meaning of a name is very important to me, though what can I do? There is no way the meaning’s gonna stop me from using this name. All I can see is my grandma; also, I think it’s really beautiful feminine name.
I have a friend [name_f]Christine[/name_f] who is nonreligious, though not an atheist, and she always lamented - jokingly, it amused her more than anything! - that her parents gave her a name that means [name_m]Christian[/name_m].
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f] IS bright, clear, and pretty. A lot of people wouldn’t really make note of the “christ” thing. I might keep looking for a name that gives you the same feeling, but if it’s still your favorite I think it’s OK. While they mean the same thing, maybe the [name_f]Kristina[/name_f] or [name_f]Cristina[/name_f] spelling would keep [name_m]Christ[/name_m] from being so, you know, front and center? I do love the suggestion of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Celestina[/name_f] though, then it’s more a nod to your beliefs - it’s often interpreted to mean heavenly but it reminds me of the sky and the stars and is related to the word for “sky” in many languages.
I know it shouldn’t be so different, I think an atheist naming their kid [name_m]Christian[/name_m] would feel silly. [name_f]Christina[/name_f] isn’t so bad.
I don’t think most people think too much of a name [name_f]Christina[/name_f], which has become such a commonly used name. However, if it worries you, go for another name that’s totally unrelated to a religion.
As an atheist, I find it quite odd. If the child grows up to be an atheist, they’ll probably hate the name, I know an atheist named [name_m]Christian[/name_m] who absolutely HATES his name.
I’m an atheist and I love a number of super religious/ [name_u]Marian[/name_u] devotional names. My legal name has religious undertones and I don’t like that very much, so I’m definitely inconsistent.
If you love [name_f]Christina[/name_f], go for it It isn’t as obviously religious as something like naming your child Psalm or Prayer.
I think it’s fine, especially in the middle. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I understand it is, I don’t find [name_f]Christina[/name_f] to have a strong religious connection when heard (unlike [name_u]Noah[/name_u] or [name_m]Moses[/name_m]). [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f] is a pretty name.
I think there’s a difference between being an atheist and not being very religious. Being an atheist implies that you do not believe in any sort of religion - not being religious could mean a number of things; that you’re a [name_m]Christian[/name_m], and celebrate [name_u]Christmas[/name_u], but do not attend church, for example. If you are the latter, I don’t see a big problem with it. If you’re an atheist and do not believe in any religions, then, I think all names with ‘[name_m]Christ[/name_m]’ in them are a bit inappropriate, but, there’s nothing really wrong with it.
Why not? [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] wasn’t the first ‘[name_m]Christ[/name_m]’ figure. It’s a cultural phenomenon as much as a religious one.
A name is just a name, and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f] sound gorgeous together. Use what you like
I’m an atheist but I think [name_f]Christina[/name_f] is a classic and has long become secular. [name_f]Christina[/name_f] has plenty of interesting namesakes, anyway, like [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f] or [name_f]Christina[/name_f] Rossetti. If you are in the Western world Christianity (like Classical/Norse/Celtic mythology) is a part of your cultural heritage, no matter if you are believer or not. The same way naming your child [name_f]Diana[/name_f] or [name_f]Iris[/name_f] doesn’t make you a pagan.
I consider myself something of a “christmas tree agnostic” but have previously thought of myself as an athiest, and am in general NOT at all religious. My name is [name_f]Cristina[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f], both of which are considered Biblical or [name_m]Christian[/name_m] names to those who chose it for me. That said, I have never once resented my name nor do I consider it a big deal that I have a religious name, though I do not ascribe to religion.
To me, [name_f]Christina[/name_f]/[name_f]Christine[/name_f]/[name_f]Cristina[/name_f] etc. like [name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Maria[/name_f] are so incredibly historical as [name_m]JUST[/name_m] NAMES, it doesn’t really matter who uses them or what their intention is in doing so. I can tell you, no one has ever made any weird religious assumptions about me based on my name and I have never done so of someone named [name_m]Christian[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m] or even [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]. I think almost any name can harken back to a religious place if you go looking.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f] is very pretty! Use it if you love it. But if you’re already thinking of it in that way, maybe it will always bother you? Have a good think and go with YOUR gut but don’t worry about consequences–there won’t be any.
