I agree with a prior comment that Christina feels like an 80's name, but to me, it stands alone from the era better than names like Tiffany and Crystal. I've known a few more Christines than I have Christinas (two born pre-60s, two born in the late 80s, early 90s), and all have usually gone by their full name with the exception of one who goes by Chris. Personally, I'm not fond of using Chris or Tina as a nickname.

I definitely understand the sentiment, but I don't see it as pompous unless the parents intended to put weight into the "Christ" part. I think, for the most part, people just like the way Chris* names sound.
