Ran into a friend the other day who I hadn't seen in ages, whose name is Nina. Which got me thinking about the name. I think it might be edging its way towards my PNL. WDYT of it? Do you know anyone with the name? What sort of person does it make you think of? Is it overused? Dated?

And WDYTO James? I never liked it much but I'm liking it lately. I've met about two ever, and it just seems timeless and kind of awesome. I'd probably use it with the nn Jamie, which I'm kind of loving atm. WDYT of James? Jamie?

I love James, nn Jamie!

I know plenty of women names Nina (thes're mostly in their 20s and 30s), both as a full name and as a nn for Nikolina.

Nina is lovely, albeit a bit nicknamey.

I adore James, particularly with the nickname Jem. I dislike Jamie.

I've liked Nina for quite a while. I think it's really cute, and it's also orange and friendly and happy. I've only known one person with the name-- a little girl who went to my church. It does seem kind of nicknamey though, so my favortie full name for it is Georgina. I was proud of myself for coming up with that. :)

I love James. I'd consider using it, with the nickname Jamie. I think it's really handsome. There was a character in a book who really started turning me onto it more.

Seeing Nina and James in the same subject line made me think, "Wow, those would be awesome names for a brother and sister!" :)
