WDYT of Alina?

I saw [name]Alina[/name] on the other thread, and although I was never fond of [name]Alina[/name] before, it seems fresh and I really like it. WDYT of the name [name]Alina[/name]? Thanks.

I think it is super pretty! My ex-step mom named her new daughter [name]Alina[/name], so if she and my dad had still been together I could maybe have had a little sister with that name. Lol. My little brother (the son of my dad and ex step mom) said he likes the name, too. Lol.

The only thing is it kind of gets mixed up with [name]Elise[/name] and [name]Alise[/name] and [name]Leah[/name] and [name]Lina[/name]. All beautiful names, but easily confused.

Very pretty :slight_smile: I love [name]Allie[/name] and [name]Lina[/name] as nicknames. It’s definitely a lovely name. It’s always on my long list but always gets cut as it has more of an exotic feel, and less of a vintage feel than most of my other favourites like [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] etc. I’d love to meet a little [name]Alina[/name] though :slight_smile:

I think it’s beautiful. It’s Eastern European and very feminine, interesting yet easy to spell and pronounce. I would very much encourage you to use it; I would use it myself if I could!

It’s pretty, but I feel like it’s annoying sounding. :confused: I think it’s the -ina ending.
I like [name]Alena[/name], [name]Alaina[/name] ([name]Elena[/name]) more.

I really like it!! To me it’s familiar, but not heard often, pretty, girly (but not too frilly), and easy to pronounce. I’ve only ever met one [name]Alina[/name], in her 20’s. It’s on my long list! It’s fun to see someone else considering this name - I haven’t seen it much here on NB. I would love to meet a little [name]Alina[/name]! :slight_smile: Another similar name that I just rediscovered is [name]Alana[/name]. [name]Just[/name] a random thought there! :slight_smile:

SO pretty and unique.

I love it… its one of my faves

It’s not my style, sorry. I know an [name]Alina[/name] and she is nice, but it has always seemed off to me, a bit unbalanced. I’m not sure why. I used to love [name]Aliena[/name], though, which was a character in [name]Shakespeare[/name]'s As You Like It. I’ve always heard it pronounced the same but when I asked opinions on it years ago, people told me it would be pronounced like Alien-uh or ah-lee-AY-nah… I don’t know, [name]Aliena[/name] said like [name]Alina[/name] made sense to me, lol. I do think the sound is pretty but I’m not crazy about the spelling.

It’s on my top 6 list! [name]Love[/name] it, discovered it not too long ago.
