What do you think of Christina. I know it was popular back in the 80's (I was born in 1985 and there were 3 Christina/Kristina/Krystina's in my class when I was little) but would it be too dated to use say...10 years from now. Or would it be rather refreshing?

Also what do you think of Thea ?

One of my best friends is Christina, b. 1987. It's all right - a little blah to me. Then again, my friend is a little blah, lol. I really like Krystyna. It looks unique but it's actually ethnic, as you probably know.


Don't like Thea, but it's... I don't know, it's okay.

christina is...okay. nothing special, but not terrible or anything. i personally like christine better, but that's not any more exciting than christina.

I think it's refreshing to see classic names used WITH the original spelling. I love it! Pair it with a really beautiful, somewhat new middle name and that would be really pretty.

I am referring to Christina. Not a fan of Thea.

I think it's lovely. We considered it for our daughter, and also Christine.

I think Christina is refreshing for new kids.

i love christina. though if i used it, i'd probably spell it cristina.

i know 2 girls my age named christina, and named christine (spelled krysteen], so it's still fairly common and not dated at all to me.

i'm not a fan of thea.

I love Christina, but then, it's my mum's name. (She HATES it. She goes by Tina, which she thinks it childish, but she likes it better than Christina or Chris.)

I think Christina is nice, and definitely not as popular as it was a couple decades ago.

I like Thea as a nickname for Theodora.

I like the name. Personally, I like the spelling Kristina... but that's probably because it's mine. lol I always see Christina and thing of saying it "CH" as in "cheese". But that's because I'm a "K"ristina and that's how I roll. lol

I really like Christina (spelled that way. The others are awful). I don't think it's dated, at all, and I think it's a gorgeous name.

Thea is okay, but I prefer Theo, and for a boy.

I think Thea is a beautiful name.
I'm not too much a fan of Christine/Christina.

I really like Christina, I didn't use to, but after Christina Aguilera it grew on me. I've also always liked Tina for a nickname (although I think of it more for Valentina), and Chris sounds pretty and fresh. The only thing I don't like so much is its meaning, since it refers to Christ and I'm not a fan.

For some reason, I think Christina pairs well with Ellen/Helen/Helen.

I do think old trendy names are refreshing on new generations.

Thea, not a fan.

I like Christina. I don't think it screams 80s or anything.
