Being such a short name, I have had few nicknames, only Ninkan and Ninni (Neenny)." Apr. 24, 2014:

"I was born Christina, but had a hard time pronouncing it as a little girl and made everybody call me Nina. I grew up thinking that was my real name. I got teased a lot about it when we started learning About Columbus. I went back to Christina for awhile before truly embracing the awesomeness of Nina. Now as an adult I go exclusively by this name including building my business brand around it. Many times Nina is so memorable I do not have to use my last name. I like that it isn't popular and it is quirky. Growing up in southern America I have had my name pronounced nie-na and nin-na." May. 4, 2015:

"I'm a Nina too! And im sooo happy with my name! It is a gentle and pretty sounding name indeed. And from as far back as i can remember, (i believe) it helps me come across as a fresh individual, quite sophisticated, a little different and just makes people from various backgrounds see a little 'uniqueness' in me :) I just love it!" Feb. 12, 2011:

"i hated my name when younger. now i am soo thankful1 i would not want any other name. of all the names out there i think its the most beautiful. unique without being wacky." Dec. 1, 2010:

"Hiya fellow Nina's :-) I hated my name as a child, especially as my mother told me it means little girl in spanish, and i wanted to be a big girl!I also have not met many Nina's in my life (40) but since i was a teenager i have liked it more and more, everyone always repeats it when they ask your name!like a nice sounding word.Recently i spent a lot of time in Bali and i get called Nina bobo, it is a lullaby they sing to children to go to sleep, i love it !" Oct. 7, 2010:

"Hello, both my mother and my daughter are named Nina, however, they both go by the less popular Nine-Ah pronunciation, so everyone pronounces it incorrectly, if seeing it written before introductions are made. I named my daughter this because I like that it is unique but not weird, and I like the non-standard pronunciation because my name is the same way." Sep. 10, 2010:

"My names Danielle so I hav no idea how my parents came up with Nina for my nickname :3 But i <3 the name Nina so much i never introduce myself as Danielle unless im FORCED to by my parents. I barely remember thts my real name :p" Sep. 2, 2010:

"Hi! My name's also Nina! I love the name, don't get me wrong.. but it really annoys me that I can never find anything with "Nina" printed on it. Whether it be on a necklace, bracelet, or even a cup! I am in loove with the fact that not that many people have the name. But, because it's so unique, people normally say it totaly wrong! :)" Jul. 31, 2010:

"hi im Nina too. and in all honesty ive hated my name forever. i always get those rude side comments. after hearing you all it is a pretty good name. i always get whats your real name and i say oh its just Nina.but now i see how beautiful the little name can be stay awesome other Ninas(:" Jul. 18, 2010:

"Nina is Grandma's name -- it is a very feminine name and in opinion conveys a combination of gentleness and distinction. I am planning on a second child and if it is a girl, we are naming her Nina! (My first girl's name is Zoe Grace (Zoe - after my Mom) and if I have another girl, she will be Nina after my Grandma!!!" Jul. 15, 2010:

"I'm also named Nina. My full name is Christina but I've always been called Nina because my parent's didn't like the nickname Tina. I've always loved my name, and think it fits with who I am" Feb. 19, 2010:

"I'm Nina too! Nice to meet the other ninas!! Do you know that it means the babylonia goddess of the watery deep?? it's so cool!! thanks to my parents!!" Jan. 20, 2010:

"My name is Nina. I've never been thrilled about the name, it kind of bugs me because of the "EEEE" sound of it, plus it is just not that popular. But for uniqueness and originality, it has always scored high, and that goes with me because I am sort of a "black sheep" - a very one-of-a-kind type person who is like a square peg in a round hole - I am only liked by certain people, and I only like certain people. While I'm a 54-yr.-old female, my closest friends are men over the age of 60, and my husband is very intense, like I am. I don't like most women, as I find them catty and shallow - I only like deep topics and subjects, and thus deep conversations - but that could also be because I'm a Scorpio, not just because my name is Nina!...Glad to be able to post this - nice opportunity. Am enjoying reading what other 'Nina's' have to say, here. Best to all of us as we "plow" on!!!" Jan. 15, 2010:

"Most folks call me Neene, but did you know that most of this country's sewer covers are made in Neenah, Wisconsn? So, our name is all over the street! LOL!" Sep. 17, 2009:

"My name is NINA too! I get the occasional "NY-NA" & it drives me nuts! Other than that I love my name because it is very unique and feminine:) My nicknames are Neeners & Nina Bean. Awesome name. Nice to meet some other Nina's!!!" Jul. 29, 2009:

"I'm a Nina as well (I pronounce it 9 uh) but my friend's mom's name is nina (pronounced Neena) it is so weird to go to her house and see my name on picture frames and the likes. I also get called Neena alot when we have subs and it is always followed but a synchronized chorus of "it's nina" from my fellow classmates. i think i've only met one or two people who have actually pronounced it correctly.:) My namesake was my great grnadmother and i'm very proud to carry on the name :)" Jul. 11, 2009:

"It's interesting how many people say the Ninas they know are creative. Hi Ninas! I'm a Nina too and I'm a vocalist, artist, and graphic designer. And I'm nicknamed Neens as well. Blog at: www.wheredoyoudrawyourdottedline.blogspot.com" Oct. 8, 2008:

"I love my name! Im from Bulgaria and I'm named after my grandmother. I think its a sexy name!!" Aug. 25, 2008:

"Hi Ninas (small girls with pretty eyes) Nina is a very artistic name I think, very pretty but not too pretty. its fit for an independent woman, with a soft side. its very unique i think, when a nina is a baby its fit cause of the meaning little girl, but its also fit for a grown up and its easy to spell. very chique especially in french ni-na" Aug. 21, 2008:

"Haha ok this is really cool. I have never EVER met anyone named Nina!!! HI OTHER NINA'S!!! anyway... in art class we had to find out what our name ment and I found out that Nina is babylonian for goddess of the deep waters so when ever someone makes fun of my name i say to them if you don't stop you might find a hurricane in your house!" Feb. 7, 2008:

"I love the name Nina. My grandmother who passed away 2 years ago was named Nina, and now I named my new born daughter Nina. Every one loves this name, and I am sure she will like it too when she grows up." Dec. 20, 2007:

"I was named after my grandmother. also Nina is a traditional name in Russia and Ukraine, but still there arnt alot of people with that name. My friends call me Mina, just for the fun of it. I truly love my name because its different and practically no one has it =]" May. 23, 2007:

"My name is Nina and I've always liked my name and thought it was unique. It seems like it means something in almost every language! Growing up in the '60s I found it annoying that nothing ever had my name on it (those little fake license plates and all that) but I used to love to search for the Ninas in the Al Hirschfield cartoon every Sunday. I felt so special! Weirdly, I find it hard to pronounce my own name--people always think I said "Lina." Oh, and some people would mispronounce it as Nine-a when I was a kid, and that would embarrass me on their behalf, but I would be too shy to correct them." May. 18, 2007:

"It was hard having the name Nina as a little kid in the 60s since nobody else I ever knew in school had that name and it was considered unusual. I also had the burden of an even more unusual last name. But as an adult I love being named Nina. It's a simple yet pretty name." Apr. 13, 2007:

"Hi Im 12 and my Names Nina!! I have my ups and downs with this name because my m8's say that they really like the name Nina and that its cute! My close friends call me NINI!! My boyfriend thinks my names nice aswel. Some people make fun of it by making a fire-engine sound but i soon get over it and people have stopped doing it now so i guess the name Nina is a very enteresting name. I have met some Nina's in my life time! one of them was a little girl at a sweet shop who i met when i was 6! At my old school there was a little 7 year old girl called Nina. And i met this lady on the train who had the same name as me. She was about 30!!! I used to really hate my name but now i'm begining to get used to it and i've started liking my name!" Apr. 11, 2007:

"Who ever said their name was pronounced 9 a then ur not alone" Feb. 13, 2007:

"My name is also Nina, but it is pronounced Nine-a. Hardly anyone ever gets it right (they always pronounce it Neena). I have an aunt named Nina, and other than that I have met and heard of only one other person with that name. I have heard of a few Nina (Neena)'s, though. I love it because it's unique, but it's never on any of the things in stores." Nov. 16, 2006:

"My name is Nina prounounced 9-ah ... I have not very often people that pronounced it nine-ah...they always say knee-nah... the people I have met that said it the same way I do ..tend to be of my grandmothers generation.... at least I know when it is someone on the phone that knows me...for if they ask for knee-nah I know they are not a friend...:-)" Oct. 18, 2006:

"My name is Nina and no one mispronounces it or at least not with me...i like it because it's rare and there aren't many other Nina's around but it's really annoying because sometimes I think it would be better to have a more exciting or long name or pretty name like Latisha or Kiera." May. 22, 2006:

"I know a woman named Nina like nine-ah and I think that is a beautiful name." May. 16, 2006:

"My mom's name is Mina, and my parents decided to name me Nina (both rhyme with Christina). We're Persian, and both Mina and Nina are pretty common in Persian culture. As a child in elementary school, I was often called "The Nina, The Pinta, and The Santa Maria." However, The Nina is a mispronounciation of the Spanish word for little girl, which is spelled N I "ENYAY" A. I have been asked a couple times if my name is pronouced NINE-A. I've been taken aback both times. :) I didn't know that pronounciation existed, but one person who asked me said he had an ex-girlfriend whose name was pronounced NINE-A. Other nicknames I've been dubbed are "Nineh Cherry" as in the singer and Nina Bambina (bambina being the Italian word for little girl). All in all, I've enjoyed having a unique name. I can't imagine having the same name as 2 or 3 of my classmates or coworkers. I like being the only Nina, although I have met a few Ninas through the years. I recently met a German Nina, who is 30, and I was the first Nina she had ever met. :) One more thing. I recently read that Nina is a Russian nickname for the name "Antonina."" Apr. 23, 2006:

"My name is Nina...and I find that it's mostly teachers who mispronounce it, and I've seen many variations on cards and letters from friends throughout he years (ninna, nena, neena...etc.) People think that it's not a common name, but I share it with my older cousin, she being Big Nina and I being Little Nina." Jul. 20, 2005:

"My name is Nina. Actually I though it was not a very usual name but by now I know so many people with that name... even my little host sister's name is Nina. And a week ago when I was camping, there was a woman with a baby... of course! The baby's name was Nina! I'm OK with it though I know plenty that I like more... I'll save them for my own children. Oh, and maybe I should mention that I live in Germany... Here it' pronounced as it's written. ;)" Jul. 10, 2005:
