I’m loving the sound and look of [name]Nina[/name] at the moment, and since my girls list isn’t as exciting to me as it used to be I’m keen on adding this to my list!
However, it’s just a bit too nickname-like for me. I’m aware that it’s a perfectly legitimate name on its own, but for me … I’d prefer something more substantial with [name]Nina[/name] as a nickname.
I’ve thought of [name]Valentina[/name], [name]Clementina[/name], [name]Sabrina[/name], Nineta, [name]Carina[/name], [name]Kristina[/name], [name]Katrina[/name], [name]Annina[/name], [name]Serena[/name], [name]Giannina[/name], [name]Honorina[/name] … nothing’s really standing out to me much at the moment though. Any suggestions?
Also, how do you think it sounds with the rest of my favourites? Which would you group it with, for siblings?:
♀ - [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Winter[/name] ([name]Ada[/name]), [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] ([name]Nora[/name]), [name]India[/name] [name]Bluebell[/name] ([name]Indie[/name]), [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name] ([name]Poppy[/name]/[name]Penny[/name]), [name]Rosa[/name] [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Tallulah[/name] [name]May[/name] ([name]Lula[/name]), [name]Viola[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
♂ - [name]Atticus[/name] [name]Felix[/name] ([name]Kit[/name]), [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Grey[/name] [name]Adam[/name], [name]Hugo[/name] [name]Sebastien[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Rex[/name] ([name]Nate[/name]), [name]Noah[/name] [name]Shiloh[/name].
(^ alphabetical order)
I have considered it as a middle name, but not only is there still my issue that it sounds too much like a nickname (I find nickname-names even more obscure in the middle name slot than the first), it’s also really growing on me so I do quite want it as a first.
Honestly, I prefer [name]Nina[/name] by itself. The names that you listed that you could possibily get the nn [name]Nina[/name] from all have another option for a nn that stands out more. For example: [name]Valentina[/name]…[name]Val[/name] would be the more likely nn over [name]Nina[/name].
Chanina, [name]Janina[/name], [name]Anina[/name], Denina, Hanina, [name]Marina[/name], Leonina, [name]Ninette[/name],Ninka, Aninka, [name]Ninetta[/name], [name]Ninita[/name], Ninella,
French version “[name]Ninon[/name]”
Nickname for [name]Natalie[/name] (a bit of a stretch)
I like [name]Marina[/name], [name]Valentina[/name], [name]Clementina[/name], [name]Sabrina[/name], and [name]Serena[/name] … but yes, having [name]Nina[/name] as a nickname for them does seem a bit off because it’s so un-obvious. I like Leonina, and [name]Nina[/name] seems to work as a nickname better for that, but I don’t think I like it enough to actually use it.
Maybe I could have [name]Nina[/name] as a first without a longer form … I could probably convince myself to go with it Any ideas on middle names?

I’m looking for something a bit longer than [name]Nina[/name]. I love the name [name]Ottilie[/name] and want that on my list somewhere, but does [name]Nina[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name] work?
I think [name]Nina[/name] is fine as a first name. I’ve known several women named [name]Nina[/name] who carry off the name quite well.
I like the look of [name]Nina[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name], but the two names run together when I say them out loud - sounds like Ninottilie to me.

I love the name [name]Nina[/name] and I don’t think it really needs a longer version… I know a girl called [name]Nina[/name] and it suits her so well and surprisingly you can actually get nn from it …they aren’t really ones that you would carry through life though she’s in year 9 so they’re just names her friends and siblings call her aha
I love [name]Nina[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]! I do already have [name]Vivienne[/name] as a middle for [name]Eleanor[/name] on my list, but I’d be happy to do some shifting. Also like [name]Nina[/name] [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Nina[/name] [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Nina[/name] [name]Jessamine[/name] and [name]Nina[/name] [name]Violet[/name].
[name]Anina[/name] is sweet, but too similar to [name]Anita[/name] for me, which I’ve never liked
I always regarded [name]Nina[/name] as a nickname, but then I met a [name]Nina[/name] who changed my mind about the name altogether. She was really quiet but you could tell she had some spunk hiding under the surface, was kind of athletic and just a general sweetie. She is all grown up now with a baby of her own and she is still the cutest thing.
[name]Noah[/name] gets to be a stand-alone name, why not [name]Nina[/name]? I think it’s pretty stylistically similar to [name]Viola[/name], [name]Rosa[/name], [name]India[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Grey[/name]; and not out of range for [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name]. I think [name]Eleanor[/name] might be too classic with the others, [name]Tallulah[/name] I’m not sure fits anyway, and [name]Atticus[/name] I just plain don’t like so I will totally admit to having trouble “processing” that name just because I dislike it so much.
[name]Nina[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name] is adorable. I think your list maybe just needs a little tweaking!
The only name I can think of is [name]Antonina[/name], but people might think it is [name]Antonia[/name] and constantly misspell it. [name]Nina[/name] [name]Violet[/name], [name]Nina[/name] [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Nina[/name] [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Nina[/name] Jessmine, and [name]Nina[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] are all spectacular, though. I don’t think of [name]Nina[/name] as a nickname since there are no obvious full names it can come from, other than [name]Antonina[/name]. I like [name]Nina[/name] with [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]India[/name] and [name]Rosa[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Atticus[/name].
Any ideas on middle names?
