Help[Opinions] WDYT of Nina?
Nina has been on my mind a bit lately and I'm really liking it. I think it is sweet and spunky and would age well. It is also well known but I've never actually met one which is nice.
So WDYT of Nina? Do you prefer it as a nickname or as is? What would you use as a full name for it if it was a nickname?
Combos would also be much appreciated!
I'm also liking the sibset of Penny, Bess and Nina but Penny and Bess would be nicknames for Penelope and Elisabeth which is why I'm thinking Nina would need a full name as well...WDYT?

I think Nina is a smart choice. It's familiar without being too popular, works well internationally, and is able to grow with a child. It's also pretty and feminine without being over the top. I prefer it as is, but I have only met one Nina and she used it as a nickname for Ann.

I love it. I'd describe it the same way. It does have a mature side to it too. The only one I've ever met was the little girl of some people I used to go to church with.
I like it on its own or as a nn. It is pretty nicknamey. I like it as a nn for Georgina best, and I think Georgina woul dfit with Penelope and Elisabeth. I'm not at home to see all my Nina combos, but I know my oldest one that just clicked together and still does is Nina Bernadette.

Nina was the name of my husband's late grandmother who just died this past year.
Her full name was Nina Lucia.
Apparently her name was unique for her generation to the point where when she was a kid, her teachers couldn't pronounce it!
She was often called Nine-ah, like the number 9 followed by an ha. Can you believe that! So hard to imagine now!
I appreciate Nina, but wouldn't use it. I appreciate it because I feel it has cross-cultural appeal - meaning it would work in several cultures.

Nina is fab, and I absolutely think it's complete on its own.
Penny, Bess, and Nina are so cute for sisters, and, though it is obviously shorter and simpler, I wouldn't elaborate on Nina to match Elisabeth and Penelope. A good bit of Nina's charm is in its simplicity.
Perhaps a more elaborate mn? I'm too tired to be creative, so I'm going to borrow from your PNL: Nina Mathilde, Nina Primrose, Nina Cecily, Nina Briseis, Nina Rosalie, Nina Melisande, or Nina Lillian.

It's in my top five. I don't think it's sweet and spunky, though. I see it as dark and untouchable.

I see it in the middle.
It's sweet & spunky but it has a definite edge to it.
