Christina, Holly or Rose for a girl?

Replies

Rose. I'm not a fan of how Christina sounds and Holly just doesn't feel quite right to me. Rose is a classic and pretty choice, though.
Rose-A friend’s nickname and I like it. Her full name is Rosalie, and I prefer that.
Christina-Pretty good.
Holly-I want to like it, but I don’t.
I like Holly best.But I have to say Holly Christina Rose would be a nice combo! :)
Rose, easily!
In order of preference for me:
1. Holly
2. Rose
3. Christina
Not a fan of Christina, I do like Holly a lot, but I’d go with Rose and call her Rosie.
I know too many Hollys and Christinas already, so those names are pretty dull for me. But Rose is lovely; I admire its calm and stability. And I like Rosie a lot too.
Rose wins by a mile
Can I say Kristina?
Rose is acceptable as a nn for all the obvious names! Rosemary, Rosamond, Rosabel, Rosalie ... but as an independent name I find it flimsy. Holly, like Noel, is often but not always associated with Christmas babies. I like Noel, no problem there, but Holly ... I'm fond of Polly, but Holly, Molly and Olly don't please me at all. Christina is by far the nicest; I prefer it to Christiana, which I'd use as a mn for family reasons. I'd probably use Christina, if at all, as a mn as well, not being religious in any way.
Rose would be my first choice, followed by Holly.Christina comes in last as I don't like the nicknames Chris or Tina.
