I was born Tina Marie but it just did not fit my personality or body shape. I felt a complete misfit. After college I changed my name. I have felt much better about it over the years. But a name is only a part of one's make-up. Developing confidence, a thick skin, forgiving nature and be your best self is my prescription for feeling better.

In 1967, a lot of men were named Tina! Tina is 100% feminine! There is nothing masculine, boyish, or unisex about it. Names that end with -ine and -ina are actually considered more feminine than names ending with -a or -ah, I think!
Tina is cute and elegant as a name. It’s even lovely as a legal first name itself. I picture a blonde haired, blue eyed, flower shirt and skirt wearing girl with braces who is a girly girl and she talks about Justin Bieber.
Trust me, Tina sounds masculine NOT one bit! For a girl, it’s beautiful and elegant. For a boy, it’s prissy and awful! I have some compassion for those poor men who dealt with having Tina as their name.

Tina was unfortunately given to 57 boys born in the US in 1967? This is a feminine name! Tina is way too over-the-top for a boy, well at least it was in 1967. Can you imagine a grown old man with the name Tina? I guess if he’s like a fairy bully from a school. I just checked the usage and it said masculine for 1967. I hope he doesn’t get teased! I know this is a feminine name and not a masculine! Name your son Tino. Tina’s male counterpart :)

Quite boring, common, and minimalist, but the good thing is that no one can accuse the bearers of having a ghetto, redneck, stripper, or trailer trash name. The name does remind me of the awesome track Don't Save Us from the Flames by M83, but it's not exactly an exciting name.
