HelpRe: Opinions on some random names
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Thanks. I didn't know about the Ally McBeal Calista connection (can you tell I don't watch much TV) but I'm sure others have that too so thanks for filling me in.
I like Christina too - Christiana is a family name for me, so I've been trying to like it as something more interesting than Christina, and I feel like I get a lot of negative or dated feedback for Christina. Glad there's someone else who likes that too.
I've had the Simon vs Simeon question in my head for awhile too. Not sure which I prefer. Simon sounds weaker to me, maybe just because of personal connotations. I don't have the Simeon/simian connection so if we ever seriously consider it, we'll have to see how many people do! Thanks.

in all fairness ...
Delaware also has the Christina River and a Christina School District, so Christina is also a place name. However, Christina is used much more often as a person's name here (and just about everyplace else) than Christiana.

Yep, sounds right. I've only even known one Christiana (and she was German), but I've known lots of Christinas. Since the Christiana I know pronounces her name with a German accent, I think I prefer that over the typical American pronunciation. Or at least I think there would be more confusion on how to pronounce Christiana here in PA since it's not a place name here. In Delaware, I guess you'd automatically get the place pronunciation.
