HelpRe: Stina
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I prefer just Christina with no nickname. Stina looks and sounds incomplete. How it can seem incomplete when Tina is a letter shorter, I don't know, and Tina doesn't even seem like a nn to me.
Justina is okay too, but Justine is better. Modestine sounds like a feminine hygiene product.

lol, you're right, Modestine does sound feminine hygienesque. I have a bunch of (amazingly awful) homemaker magazines from the 50's and 60's, and throughout them all are these soft-focus ads of women in ball gowns lounging in the woods or in parks and the only words that are on the ad are "Modess...BECAUSE" and sometimes "whisper". They are totally advertisements for pads that are trying not to be advertisements for pads. Terrific. Modestine...BECAUSE.

I think Modess might have been pronounced Moh-DESS, like "made" being "fashion?" But I really don't know, I don't know that they're even sold anymore.
