I prefer Antonina nn Nina. It's lovely. I like Nina on its own too, but I like it moreso as a nickname.

While both are fine (Nina's certainly a name in it's own right and doesn't sound cutesy), I prefer Antonina nn Nina. I think Antonina is very pretty.

Antonina seems really long and fussy, Nina is a name in its own right and is wonderful on its own.

I like Antonina, nn Nina. Sure, it's a little long and fussy but I like that she could go formal or informal as the mood strikes.

Of course...

...I prefer Nina. it is simple, romantic and elegant, but Antonina is really complex and frilly.

I like Nina in this case. It is pretty, sweet, and not too fussy.
