HelpRe: Christiana
in reply to a message by Perrine
It's okay but a bit overdone for my taste. I much prefer Christina, which I'd use in a heartbeat.
I live in Delaware and a lot of things, especially upstate, are named Christiana. Christiana Hospital, Christiana Mall, and also Christina, like the Christina School District and the Christina River. This is because the state was first settled by Swedish people under Queen Christina.
So to me, Christiana feels like more of a place name, since I never met a Christiana in person. I doubt many people in Delaware are named it. Christina is much more familiar as a name across all all places and generations.

I have a friend called Christina. She's from China, and Christina isn't her original name, she chose it when she came to Canada. Good choice.
I don't know if her Chinese name is difficult, or she just wanted a fresh start.
Her husband's name is Jimmie. (also Chinese.)
Her kids are Amy and Edmund.
