Tina and Katie are possible nicknames.

My name is Katina and I was born in 1990. My mom liked it because it’s pretty and Greek. I’m a quarter Greek and most Katinas I’ve met or heard of are Greek.
I love my name. Pretty and unique without being too hard to pronounce or spell. I’ve been called Kat which I don’t mind, and as a small child I was Teeny, but I prefer Katina.

My mother was a big film buff, she told me the choice was Deanna or Katina, she chose Katina.
Strangely she always called me Tina, and so did the rest of my family.
If I told anyone my full name, at school, the kids took great delight in calling me silly things and making fun of me, which I found upsetting and embarrassing, so I gave in and accepted Tina, only writing it in full on letters or cards.
I only started using Katina when I was divorced in 1985 and I went to adult college on an I.T. course, where I automatically wrote my name in full on a name card on my desk.
So many people complemented me on having such an unusual and pretty name.
I decided I would use my given name and rebuild my life as me Katina! I have done just that and am proud of all I have accomplished in the past 35 years.
I do find it very frustrating that people persist in giving me an “R” and making me Katrina! I can write it in block Capitals and it still comes back as Katrina!
Most importantly I found in accepting my name I became myself and found strength I had never felt before.

My name is Katina, my mother got it from a soap opera when she was pregnant with me. Her name is Tina which seems no one understands Katina when I say it or spell it. You know Tina with a Ka before it. They are so confused and then call me Katrina. Which just drives me crazy. But I love my name, only know of 2 others, who are nothing like my personality. But I like the meaning, and my children want to name their girls after me.

My name is Katina. My mother got it from the Soap Opera. My middle name is Catherine, after the baby's mother, which is funny because Katina is Greek for Catherine. Go figure. My nicknames are Tina and Kat.
I had a friend in jr. High with the same name, born on the same date and year, same hospital... and our names are from the same soap.
I always hated my name. I wanted to be a Kelly or Amy, etc... I've grown to appreciate my name over the years. I can never find novelty license plates with my name though.

I like it because it's pretty and strong. It sounds way better than Katrina anyway!

I was born in 1960 my name is Katina, I have never used this name as I thought of it as add, but all who know me ask why I don't use it as they think it's a really nice name. There is a whale in Orlando called Katina.

A few years ago I heard this name for the first time (the Russian singer Lena Katina). Before, I thought it was a fantasy name. My father called me Katina, because as a child I wasn't able to pronounce Kerstin, my real name. I always liked Katina much more than Kerstin! And now I'm really wondering about so many details on this name!

My big sister's name is KaTina. Tina for short (sometimes). She's a very independent, intelligent person. And I think this is a nice name, that is very different. I think it sounds very 'ethnic' (Greek).

I think the name would be interesting to call a girl.
