Christine is the name of the evil car in Stephen King's novel of the same name. She's a '58 Plymouth Fury who is jealous of her owner's girlfriend. Silly, scary book and movie.

The name is beautiful. I once recall knowing a person, so NOT naive and so NOT shallow. She was a real nice person and smelled really good like lemons. She was also a lot better than everyone else at tennis and things like that. Pretty much the kind of person you would want to be if you were a girl.

YOU GUYS ARE SO RANDOM! Oh well, I like the name Christine and I think I'm going to call my daughter it, but not because it reminds me of the girl from the Phantom, lol. I didn't like her anyway, she didn't stay with the phantom lol. And just to let you know you should all read the book it's great.

My name is Christine. I like it because it is sort of unusual but not really weird. People always start out calling me "Christina" which is a little annoying, but you get used to it. It's a good name, but don't put it with the name Ann. Ann is my middle name and I don't like it.

My understanding of the name Christine, is that it is an early form of "Christian", Greek for "an anointed Christian."

Christine is a great name and not a fad name at all. It also makes a great middle name.

My best friend's name is Christine and she doesn't really like it so we call her Chrissie or Chrissy.

I hate the name Christine. Christine is the name of a girl who is in a relationship with the guy I would DIE to be with. So yeah, she makes me hate the name Christine.

Christine is a beautiful name in my opinion, with a lovely, warm sound, yet quite reasonable and classical. Too bad it means a Christian, as I'm going to raise my child in the Wiccan tradition.

A unique alternative is the French name Christelle (pronounced krees-TEL).

This is my middle name; Andrea Christine. I believe it means Christ-like. And yeah, I guess I like it. =P

-- jaylastarlight  12/29/2006

I think Christine is a wonderful name. It's the name of my absolute best friend. And I think that "Rachel" is a great middle name for this name. It just has a ring to it.

-- hereiamagainxx6  1/11/2007

I think the name Christine is a beautiful name, That's my name and I have gotten many compliments. It sounds good for a girl that has darker hair or was born in the spring!

-- calli_gurl13  1/25/2007

A very pretty name that isn't too young or old.

-- 7up  3/2/2007

My aunt is named Christine but people call her Chris (which I dislike as a nickname for a girl.) I think it's a very beautiful name and I like it a lot better than Christina.

This is my middle name and I love it. My sister named my niece after my middle name and she hates being called Chrissy or Christy or any nicknames, but the name Christine is beautiful. Love it. :)

My name is Christine, and my middle is Rose. My parents say it's because I was born on Christmas Day (12/25) and my dad is named, "Christopher." My middle name is a variant for my mother, "Rosie."

I do like my name but nicknames are tough for me. I know a lot of Christophers," who go by "Chris" and "Chrissy" or "Christy" have never suited me. I still love go by "Chris" but I prefer it to be spelled, "Kris."

Throughout grade school, intermediate, and high school I've only known 1 other person named, "Christine."

For some strange reason a lot of people mistake my name for, "Christina." In fact, my cousin-in-law is named "Christina," and people call her, "Christine."

My name is Christine. When I was young I found the spelling boring but now that I'm an adult I'm glad it has traditional spelling. It is a great name as it adapts easily to age. When I was young I was "Chrissy" (and still am to family) but as I grew I was able to use "Chris". I try & avoid introducing myself as Christine as it does sound very formal and when people use it it feels like I'm in trouble! It is handy to have a name that can be misconstrued as a male name (Chris) as it can generate more attention when writing letters/emails to authorities etc. It's also good that it's not a really common name.

There's a song by the band "Sugarcult" named Christine.

Christine Noelle sounds very pretty and from what I've heard is very Christian, for those of you of that belief. Personally, I don't care what the name means, if it sounds pretty I shall take.

-- AndrewJKD  3/17/2008

I'm rather fond of this name, if not only because of Christine from Phantom of the Opera.

-- Pippin  4/26/2008

It's not an ugly name or anything, but it's bland, boring, and far too common. This seems to be the name people shove to wallflowery, mousy, geeky, and fat female characters in movies, TV shows, etc. Not very exciting. Well, at least no one can say it sounds ditzy, immature, or trashy.

-- slight night shiver  5/18/2008

Christine Kochanski is the name of a female character in the popular BBC cult tv show 'Red Dwarf'.

-- Lynsey777  6/14/2008

I'd say this name fits demure and graceful people best. And to those who actually named their (quoted from Ms Slight Night Shiver) "wallflowery, mousy, geeky, and fat female characters in movies, TV shows, etc" this, I can only say "please refine your taste".

Christine does not mean "Christian" or "christ-like", nor is it a variant of Christina.

Christine is the original feminine form of Christopher which means "Christ-Bearer". Similar to Israel in the old-testament, the first Christopher (Saint Christopher) was dubbed so because he carried the Christ-child over a river.

I found a good song called "Christine" on iTunes by this pop-rap dude Heady Hustla.

The meaning of Christine is "follower of Christ".

I think Christine is a name that should be preserved for a long time. I prefer Christine over Christina and other variants.
