[Opinions] Christine / Kristina
I love Christine and adore the nn Chrissy. Even though I don't like the sound of Kristina nearly as much as Christine, I like how the name looks with the K, and nn Krista is so cute. I don't like Christina or Kristine for some reason.
If you had to pick, and you couldn't use different nn's, which would you chose:
Christine nn Chrissy
Kristina nn Krista
And I'd like overall opinions on the names. A lot of people I know don't like nn Chrissy so I'm wondering what you guys think. Also if you have any combo suggestions I'd appreciate it!

I'm a Christine, so naturally I see it as far and away better than Kristina.
I hate the nn Chrissy, partly because it's so typically 80s trendy to me, and partly because it's what patronising older people always call me when they want to put me offside or challenge my authority at work. My nickname is Chris, and that works for me.
I'm Christine Ellen, and I love that combo, but Christine works with a whole range of different names.

Of the two, I'd choose Christine but I'd nickname her Christie/Christy. I don't care for the nickname Chrissy, personally.
Kristina is a nice name, but I'm not fond of the "K" spelling. Had it been spelled Christina, it definitely would have gotten my vote.

I like Christine. I don't like either nickname though. And I'd be more likely to use Christian (male) or Christabel.
Oh alright. The way you worded it I thought you ment I just changed a name around and it wasn't real. Sorry about the confusion. Thanks for your input!
You're welcome. I probably should have worded it better, I apologize! I tend to word things badly a lot.
