-ina names

Right now I’m loving names ending with the -ina sounds! Names like [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamina[/name_f], and [name_f]Willamina[/name_f]. What are your favorite names like these?

@snowmaiden and @ethelmary have mentioned my current favourites of [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] and [name_f]Augustina[/name_f]. I wanted to drop in and say that I really like [name_f]Ena[/name_f] as a nn for these names or as a name in its own right. I saw [name_f]Ena[/name_f] on a gravestone once as first name.
