Comments and insights on the name Christine: | Edit

I believe Christine is a very adult name if you can say that, its not a name that suits a new born baby
Christine is more likely these days to be used as a second name rather than a first. It is also shortened to Christy or Christa if used in these modern days. But after all said and done I like my name. I have a grandaughter due in a couple of months and i know they dont want to use my name.

Personal experiences with the name Christine: | Edit

My Grandmother actually named me and was cross with anybody who happened to call me Chris. I have been known as Chris almost all of my life, and I kind of grew into Christine. Most of my family calls me Christine. I didn't feel comfortable with it for a long time, but I think I have successfully grown into it now.
