Thoughts on the name Nina?

My older cousin's name is Nina and we grew up near our grandparents in NYC. I remember crowding around the new yorker at their dining room table racing to see who could find the Ninas first!

I happen to LOVE the name but also really love my cousin so who knows.

Oh, and I remember them in the new yorker magazine but maybe it was the NYtimes?

It’s not a nickname and isn’t close to “girl”.

Ella means “she” in Spanish and people use it as a formal full name every day.

Start your own thread abour Ella. Would you name your daughter girl? I wouldn't and I wouldn't name her She " Ella" either.

Just my opinion which was asked!

Sounds like a very 80’s name. I grew up with a lot of Ninas!

What about Colleen? That also means girl but lots of people give their daughters that name.

Also, does it still mean girl without the ñ?

I love it, it's my sister's name.

I think it's cute, but I also think it really depends on how it sounds with the last name.

Love it. I knew an Antonina (Polish name) who went by it. But I think it works by itself too.
