I love it--reminds me of Martina McBride, who has an absolutely amazing voice. I don't know that I'd use it for a real daughter (there are plenty of other people I need to conjure up in names before Ms. McBride, lol), but I'd love to meet a little girl named Martina.Tina, Tinny, Mari, Mara, Marta, and Marti would all be really cute nicknames. I especially like Marti, oddly enough--it's very Grease and retro-cool to me.Array

Ahhhh, ditto the Martina McBride comment. Love.The only nn I'd like for it is Marta, but why does Martina need a nn? :)

But *every* name needs a nickname!...Says the girl who didn't have one up until college, lol.I think that's why I'm drawn to nicknames, really--I never had one that stuck, even though I gifted my sisters with at least a half-dozen each.Array

I never really had a nn, unless you count "Lau" (Law). When my mom chose the name Tara for my sister, she thought there weren't any nicknames for it, but all her friends call her Ta or Tazie.

Well,...my sister's fn is Martina and when she was a little girl all family members called her Mine (Mee-neh). When she became older this stopped and now everyone calls her Martina. I think she's fine with it.

I have a "thing" where I call almost everyone I meet by their first syllable. (Amy is "Aim", Megan is "Meg", Kevin is "Kev", Jared is "Jare"...etc ;) )
That's nn enough for me ;)

I recall doing that with all my gf's when I was in high school! The boys would all make fun of us...and mock us by doing the same to thier names. They went so far as to call James, "Jam"; a nickname that has stuck some 15 years now! (Oh gosh I'm old!)

Yeah, I was Ames a lot when I was little, and Amy Raemy, lol. But I was jealous of the Elizabeths "Liz" and "Ellie," Christopher "Chris," and Jessica "Jessy." I wanted a nickname, not just a pet name.But now I'm AR in college a lot, so that makes it better. ;)Array

My first name offers a nn, so I go by that. It was just because there were so many other Caitlin's that I wanted to be different, haha.
