Nina is short for...

The nickname Nina is speaking to me today, but I'd definitely want a formal name. The two listed on behind the name didn't ring for me. So any suggestions?

I agree with PPs that Nina on its own is a great name. Honestly I feel like you could probably take any name ending "-ina" (Angelina, Katrina, Serafina) and use the nickname Nina if you really wanted to. Also, the lead actress from "The Vampire Diaries" goes by Nina but her full name is Nikolina.

Besides the ones already mentioned, there are Penina and Jeanine. I really like Nina on it's own though.

Thanks, ladies I just can't see adding Nina to older sisters Anastasia and Genevieve. It just doesn't feel "fair". I like that each of the older girls have nicknames that can stand on their own and would like to do the same for DD3. I'm struggling, so I thought I'd try working backward from a nickname. I'll keep looking.

I know a Nina as a full name and a Nina as a nickname for Christina.

Im with some of the other posters. I consider it a name on its own...I like it.

I have a friend Nikolina whose NN is Nina. I love both names

Nicolina sounds like a good sibling name for Anastasia and Genevieve with Nina as a natural nickname. Nina is listed as a diminutive of Antonia on babynamewizard, and Marina and Katharina on wikipedia.
