For me i don’t care for the name because there’s these bullies at me school ( they’re best friends actually) and one of them is named [name]Nina[/name]. but when i see it i usually think of her. also i think [name]Nina[/name] is confusing with the spanish word for girl, nina.
“Niña” or “chica” is girl in Spanish, and ‘niña’ is pronounced differently to [name]Nina[/name]. I think “chica” is way more informal?
i know they sound different, bur they are spelled the same. only there is a little thingy over the n in the spanish version.
I think the girl would love it. I do for sure, it makes me think of a beautiful girl who isn’t afraid to speak her mind whos shy at times but has many friends.
[name]Nina[/name] is an awesome name!!! You should name her it! I’m sure she’d love it. I think [name]Nina[/name] is better than [name]Lina[/name] anyday.
To everyone saying [name]Nina[/name] is girl in spanish, you [i]are[i]right but it’s nina with a swirl thing above the second ‘n’ and it’s said ‘NEEN-ya’ not ‘NEEN-UH’
I think of [name]Nina[/name] on Fringe! lol. She’s such a complex, perplexing character–sometimes you think she’s a bad guy, and others, she’s sweet and motherly and wonderful. I do think it suits her very well.
I can’t really picture [name]Nina[/name] on a little girl because of that, but I do think it’s a sweet name. Not really my thing but I don’t hate it at all and would probably be happy to meet a little girl with the name.
My other immediate thought is that it has always felt a bit stereotypically Hispanic to me. I’m not sure why–is [name]Nina[/name] a common Spanish diminutive for another name, like [name]Ana[/name]/[name]Anna[/name], maybe? I used to think it was one of those names that would work for a little Latina girl, but not really other nationalities. I’ve since broadened my views, but it still does linger in the back of my mind, that it’s maybe too Spanish for my very [name]German[/name]/English children…
It is very sweet, though. 
I’ve also heard it used as a nn for something longer like [name]Seraphina[/name]…
I think it’s cute, spunky, traditional, multi-cultural, ages well. This was my nickname in high school and college because I refused to go by [name]Cris[/name] or [name]Crissy[/name], and [name]Nina[/name] was part of my grandmother’s nickname (full name [name]Mariana[/name], then they called her Marianina, then just [name]Nina[/name], and [name]Mariane[/name] is my middle name) and the last three letters & ending sound of my name…if that makes any sense
[name]Nina[/name] was also the name of the mother in Father of the [name]Bride[/name], and I thought she was very warm and caring
The immediate associations I get from [name]Nina[/name] are: [name]Nina[/name] [name]Garcia[/name] from Project Runway, [name]Nina[/name] [name]Van[/name] Horn from [name]Just[/name] Shoot Me, and the ship [name]Nina[/name]. There was also a character in a book named [name]Nina[/name] when I was a teenager, which made me think that someday I would change my name to. I grew out of that, but regardless I still really love the name. It’s pretty. None of the associations are negative.
I know 2 Ninas and one is half white/half [name]Asian[/name] and the other is Russian…so I don’t think this is only a Latin name.
I have known 2 [name]Nina[/name]'s. [name]One[/name] was [name]Neena[/name]- tall, intelligent, quiet, friendly. The other [name]Nina[/name]- small, elf like, wicked humour and bubbly.
I don’t like it. I can only hear knee-nah. Ugly sound to me.
I chose the name [name]Nina[/name] for my daughter and she loves her name! it is easy to spell, pronounce and for others easy to remember. It is a name used in many countries like [name]Russia[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Italy[/name], and Greece …to name a few. I think it has a simple elegance and is definitively feminine.
I associate it with a ex-character on an Australian television show.
To be honest, I’m not sure how I think of [name]Nina[/name]. It sounds cute, but I think I neither dislike nor like it.
Good luck!
I like the name [name]Nina[/name], but I don’t think I could name my baby girl [name]Nina[/name] because girl in spanish is spelled the same way( pronounced differently of course). I actually know somebody named [name]Jennifer[/name] [name]Nina[/name], and she goes by [name]Nina[/name] b/c she dislikes her first name, so that says alot.
[name]Black[/name] Swan, played by [name]Natalie[/name] Portman. Delicate, feminine, has some backbone but has a hard time showing it.
I think [name]Nina[/name] is lovely, but a tad bit of a nickname.
I think of this awesome character on a current popular Australian TV show called Offspring - the character is socially awkward but lovable and a successful obstetrician.
I’ve always liked the name [name]Nina[/name]. And forget what most people think of when they hear the name you love - once you name your child that, everyones brains will re-program to think of them instead of their negative connotations! So if you love the name, use it. It’s not an old name that now has a bad sound - like very unfortunate [name]Dick[/name] or [name]Fanny[/name], for example. So go for it!
I think of my fiance’s niece whose name is [name]Nina[/name] and she is super cute. She is quiet, but has her funny moments. Her older sister, [name]Nora[/name], is a loud mouth.
