My family used to give all their children names ending in [name_f]INA[/name_f] or [name_f]INO[/name_f]. It was a tradition from their town and this trend went on for generations. Most of their names were obvious variations of traditional choices as [name_m]Paulino[/name_m] and [name_f]Alexandrina[/name_f] ([name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]’s first name) and not like [name_f]Angela[/name_f] and [name_f]Angelina[/name_f], which are completely different from one another [my opinion, of course].
As a way to reconnect to my origins, I would like some suggestions of names ending in [name_f]INA[/name_f] or [name_f]INO[/name_f].
Here’s a looong list:

[name_f]Vevina[/name_f]

The problem with these [name_f]INA[/name_f] names is that or they look unnecessarily elaborated or too old lady-ish. But I like some of your suggestions, @roseofjune. Thank you, btw. :p:p
[name_f]Regina[/name_f]: I love the regal vibe of [name_f]Regina[/name_f]. It makes me think of [name_f]Regina[/name_f] [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_f]Regina[/name_f], The Evil [name_f]Queen[/name_f] of Once Upon a Time. [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] dated where I live, but who cares?
[name_f]Antonina[/name_f]: this one is very pretty. It doesn’t seem childish, does it?
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]: this one is very fun to pronounce, though sooner or later I will end up saying [name_f]Catarina[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Catarina[/name_f]: very chic, also the name of one of my friends.
[name_f]Jessamina[/name_f]: interesting. I like, but something is missing here.
[name_f]Josephina[/name_f]: I actually prefer the [name_f]Josefina[/name_f] (even though, is more old lady-ish than the PH spelling). Right now, I’m looking for a full name for [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] and [name_f]Josefina[/name_f] seems to apply.
[name_f]Martina[/name_f]
[name_f]Francina[/name_f]
[name_f]Celina[/name_f]
[name_f]Kristina[/name_f]
[name_f]Dina[/name_f]

[name_m]Gavino[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcelino[/name_m]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]: [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]! Old-fashioned, but beautiful!
Marchelina: idk if I like this one or I’m just intrigued by it
[name_m]Constantino[/name_m]: royal and strong
[name_m]Valentino[/name_m]: fancy (the way I like)
