HelpChristiania?
WDYT of Christiania? Not Christiana but Christiania.
It's the name of a friend of my nana (the friend is nearly 90). I've only know her as Chris so I thought it was short for Christine or perhaps Christina but apparently it's Christiania.
It intrigued me so I googled it and it's the old name for Oslo as well as a self-governing neighbour of Copenhagen so now I want to know how it found it's way on to a British baby 90 years ago.
I personally think it's pretty to look at but I can't get my tongue around it - kris-tee-an-ee-ah? kris-tee-an-ya? I think I prefer Christiana.

I much prefer Christiana, I don't see the point of randomly adding an "i". She'd get called Christiana a lot anyway.

It is a lovely name, but rather more for a capital city than for a person. Perhaps you've met the first victim of the place names as fns trend!

I think it's pretty, but a bit too elaborated. I much prefer Christina.

I also think its overdone. Too many syllables; no wonder she went by Chris.

It's overdone like Alexandria. Why make a beautiful name like Christiana or Alexandra over-complicated?!
