HelpRe: Christiana
in reply to a message by Sadie-Janae
It's a little exotic to me because I've seen so many Christinas and so few Christianas. Also, I think of it pronounced -AHna and not -ANna and that makes it sound more "foreign." I think it's very pretty and Ana does work as a nn. I don't think that anyone can say Chris can't happen, except Christiana herself. Chris isn't so bad, anyway.
I think there are two pronunciations (besides the -anna / ahna difference) and I care to know which it is supposed to be when I read it. I could say it Kris-tee-ahna, or Kris-tchee-ahna like the word Christian (which is kris-tchun in my accent). I think I slightly prefer the latter way, but only slightly. Probably because Kris-tee-ahna has Christy in it, and I think of Christy as a nickname for Christina (slightly childish). ??
