Help[Opinions] Re: Christina or Kristina?
in reply to a message by Lily8
I'm a Kristina, and I've known many, many Christinas and a few Kristinas, one Cristina. I don't know if I have a preferance on spelling, but I will tell you that until about five years ago it was IMPOSSIBLE to find anything pre-personalized with the spelling Kristina. I don't like Cristina, it feels too squished.
Growing up I was Kristy; several of the Christinas I knew were Chrissy or Chris, neither of which I can stand. I go by my full name, no nns excepting family and a few friends who call me Kristy or Kitty.
I don't think it did fall out of favour. Sure, it isn't as common any more, but it's still in the top 200 (Christina) and 500 (Kristina). Like many of the names that exploded in the 70's and 80's, it still needs a little break before it has a chance at major popularity. Like so many of those formally popular names, it suffers from over exposure.
I think Christina, by any spelling, will always be in use. I don't know if I would call it a classic in the vein of Elizabeth or Catherine, but it is a solid name with staying power.
