I happen to love the name Celestine. I think it's beautiful. Beyonce's mother is really named this, but she goes by Tina. While I don't like Tina, I think it sounds better as a nickname for something unusual.What do you think of the name Celestine? How about Tina as a nickname for Celestine?
I love Celestine, but I really don't like Tina as a nickname for it. I don't know what I'd use as a nickname myself (Celeste, probably), but such a striking name needs an equally striking nickname, if you ask me, and Tina really isn't very striking.
I like Celestine. It's a strong and striking name.I had a friend in grade school named Celestine.I really dislike Tina, though...no matter how/when it's used.
My husband's grandmother was named Celestine. She went by the nickname "Celly" or more commonly "Sally". I don't care for Tina as a nickname for it, just simply because I never liked the name Tina. I think Celestine is a very pretty name.
