My daughter has a new friend with the name.Seems odd on a 10 year old. Thoughts?The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. G.K. Chesteron

Quite like it. Even on a 10 year old.
It’s okay. I don’t like the sounds in it, but I appreciate how it isn’t super common.
So lovely!
It’s pretty.
Galina is a popular female name in Russia.
Makes me think of a chicken. OK, there should be an extra L, but I'm going by sound.
Same. It's a beautiful name, but I want to read it like 'chicken' 😅
In Spanish, 'll' makes a 'y' sound, so I don't think 'Galina' and 'gallina' sound the same.
Ah, but in Latin they would have!
Fair! Didn't think of that
It's ok
It's interesting, and also kind of pretty?I approve.
It's pretty, I like that it stands out but not too much.
Pretty
Really pretty! It does seem a little mature for a child, but then, so does Miriam! She'll grow into it I'm sure. Boy would I have loved to be named Galina when I was 10.
I think it's a very pretty name, and would use it if I could! I love the way it sounds and looks!
