HelpTina (on a teenager)
I was sort of hesitant to make this post but I’m kind of wondering about people’s opinions on this.
I used to know a Tina who was slightly younger than me (I’m 16)
I was surprised by her name, because you usually don’t meet Tinas who are younger.
It was a nickname though, but her name didn’t end in Tina, it was Athena.
You think it would be Thena, but no. Tina.
Not bad at all, I just found it surprising. Maybe equally surprising as meeting a gen z Anastasia that went by Stacy.

Not really that surprising. Long names are definitely in fashion, but in everyday situations, they very often do get shortened to various things, and the parents may not have much choice in what they are shortened to even if they said from the outset that if Anastasia really had to be shortened, they'd like it to be shortened to Anna.
Tina may have been named Athena, and purely phonetically you would expect her to be nn Thena, but it's possible that she or a little brother or sisster couldn't say Thena very well and Tina was what she ended up with.
Tina is definitely not in fashion anymore, but to me at least, it still sounds very youthful.
