I have always liked Kristen / Kristin and never really thought of them as dated. Kirsten is okay, though I have heard so many different pronunciations.

I don't think Kjerstin and Tineke would be easily usable in my context.

Kirsten had a popularity surge in the 1980s, I think. I prefer it to Kristen, Christine etc. Kjerstin is strictly Scandinavian. I've always liked Tineke, but I've only ever encountered it as a nn for Justina.

I like Kirsten better than Kristen.

I like Kirsten and Kristen, not a fan of the other two.

I love Kirsten. It sounds warm and Christmas-y. I'm neutral on Kristen but it just not my taste, Kristen is also an Indonesian word for Christian.

Kjerstin looks interesting but I'm not into it. For me Tineke sounds like an old/middle-aged women's name as our country (Indonesia) were colonized by Netherlands until 1942. Same goes with Anneke, Mareyke, Linneke, Jultje, Zusje, Dintje, and Vonneke.

Well, the form Kjerstin is definitely better than the other forms, which I find dated. I like Kiersa and Kjerse or Kjersa as well.

I like Kirsten, but I’m not a fan of Kristen. I wouldn’t say either of them are particularly dated, but I see why somebody would say that.
