Kristina

Hello, my name is Kristina. However, when I was younger my nickname was Kissy...then Tina...then Kristy...finally; once i made it to high school I graduated to Kristina. I was so grateful to finally have grown out of Kissy, though part of me still misses Tina. There is an elegance or grace that seemingly carries with it the feeling of growing into one's name! However, I can't help but ask, are there any other Kristina's that literally cringe when someone, anyone calls them Kris? It's like nails on a chalk board for me personally!

My name is Kristina. I was named after my father whose name is Christopher Kyle. He said that he wanted to make sure my name was a ladylike name and felt that the K vs. A Ch or C made the name look more elegant. I love my name. I am very appreciative my dad spent time putting so much thought into naming me before I was born.

People call me Kristina and don’t usually shorten it, which I prefer the full name. People have tried to give me nicknames but they have never stuck, some of those nicknames are: Kristi, Kristy, Kris, Tina, Tina-Bina, Xtina. Again, I don’t respond to those things (except Xtina which just looks cool) and so they have never stuck and people just call me Kristina. My sister will even say, “Who is Kristy?” which I appreciate.

I have never been bullied for my name. And it is a more unique spelling as I rarely meet other Kristina’s but I do meet more Christina’s. My best friend is Christina— and I think her name is pretty, too— I just don’t compare. They are just different.

I don't like this variant. It looks like someone has heard this name and doesn't know how to spell it. I prefer Christina, Christine, and Cristina.

My daughter's name Kristina. This is my favorite name! Short name is Kristi, but usually use full name.

Very pretty! I like both Christina and Kristina, but I probably prefer this spelling more :)

I used to prefer the Christina spelling, but now I don't really like it anymore. Kristina has won my heart, and I love this name. One of my top names for a daughter.

This is actually my favorite spelling, along with Christina then Cristina. It looks more pretty and is a beautiful name, I just don’t like the meaning very much.

I just loooove this name. It's gorgeous and not too common but not too out there. One of my favorites.

My name is Kristina. I personally like my name, but be careful on naming a child this name. People are going to spell it with a ch. But I have never met anyone else with the name Kristina.

I have a friend name Kristina, and it's my absolute favorite name! It's such a pretty name too!

My name is Kristina and I absolutely love my name! Also, I am really glad my name is spelled with a K not a ch! I love my name because it's not too popular, especially with the spelling! Then, when I meet someone else with the name Kristina it's really special! I highly recommend naming your kid Kristina! I never disliked my name once! I promise there is nothing bad about this name!

My name is Kristina. All my life, whenever I tell people my name is "Kristina", one of two possible outcomes occur. One, people think my name is Christine and I have to correct them and say, "NAAAAA. KristinAAAA." Two, they spell my name with a "Ch" and I have to correct them: "Kristina with a K, not Ch". I always hated having to tell people how to spell my name because I always have to correct them, and I don't like having to correct a mistake that I know is so common to make. So when I got to college, I decided that I was going to tell people my name was Tina. Not because I don't like my name, but because I won't have a run-in with the conflict of HOW to spell my name.

I personally love the name. I've even named my first born this, though it's not common in my country, Kenya.

Guys, I don't know how to spell my name! With a ch or k please help! Which one do you think?

My little sister's name is Kristina and I think it's beautiful.

Names like this always remind me of savoury snacks, lol. Maybe I just think of crisps.

It doesn't matter if you spell it with a "K" or a "C", I still rather dislike the name. It just does not sound pretty. :( But if its your name and you like it don't be offended. Its just my opinion.

My name is Kristina and I have been this name for the last 21 going on 22 years. It is a nice name and yes I'm not going to lie I used to hate my name. But its saying is true most are very nice but we also can be "moody" at times as well. We are sweet and caring. And thing is, most Kristina's or Christina's that I know are Brunettes like I am. I have yet to meet one with blond hair. And my nick names growing up have been Kris, Krissy, Tina, Kriskris, and kiki, and Kitten (but just because my name started with a k.)

I am a Kristina and have been for the last 25 years. People always have a good impression of my name and always think of me as a pastor's daughter. I am blonde, pretty, and always very classy and put together. I know a lot of other "Christinas" and they are always either like me or very wild and troubled. Every "Kristina" I have met has been similar to me. It is a good name and people always compliment on how pretty they think my name is. I have never met anyone whom I didn't get along with. So, if you name your daughter "Kristina", I believe it comes with a very good reputation. Most of us are very sweet girls. :)

This name reminds me of a hot blonde girl.

This is my name, except that it's spelled with a Ch. I honestly don't know what to think about it, except that I wish my mom was a little bit creative in naming me. I mean, she was going to name me Arianna. That's 100x more original than this name! I guess it's classic and graceful though... but still boring. -___-

This is my favorite spelling of Christina. It's overused and boring though.

This is my name. I always disliked it because it is so common, even with the "K" spelling. There was always at least one other Christina (usually spelled with a "Ch") in my school classes, and now I am one of three at work, where there are only twenty-some people! It is awful never getting to appreciate your own name because it always belongs to someone else too. I like the "K" spelling better than "Ch" because it is not as common, but please think twice before naming your child this!

I know twin girls named Kristina and Melissa. However, Kristina is never, ever called by her full name; she is always called Krissy. And her twin is always, always called Missy. I personally like Kristina better than Christina.

I think of it as more male than female, not the pronunciation, the spelling.

I personally think the spelling looks terrible and rough.

This is a very pretty, elegant name for a girl.

I enjoy this name because of its association. I know a sweet and delightful young woman named Kristina, and I will always love the name because of her.

My name is Kristina. I didn't like it much when I was younger, but now I love it. Especially as it is spelt with a 'K' as opposed to 'Ch'. It is spelt with a K in Norway - which is the norm. It's a very sweet feminine name (in my opinion), which suits my personality. Futhermore, the guys seem to like it! (which is always nice!)

I think I like this spelling better than Christina.
