Help[Opinions] Christina
Christina is the name of the day. WDYT?
This name occupies a strange space in my mind of being ubiquitous but not tired - at least, not the full name. I've known a couple who go by their full name (former classmates) and one Tina (also a former classmate - though I understand Tina was quite common in the past). However... Chris. I know so many Chrises, of either gender - I might have known more Chrises throughout my life than Daves, Wills, Emilys, and Ashleys, that's how many. "Chris" isn't necessarily bad, but it is tired.
That said... I have always felt ambivalent about using a name that has "Christ" in it. According to the etymological roots and definitions these names are meant to honor Christ, but I can't seem to avoid sensing an undercurrent of pomposity in putting that element in a regular person's name. IDK, maybe that's just me.
