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.

My name is Christina and I'm always called Chrisine. My impression of Christine is harsh and rash.
Christine de Pizan is a famous bearer of this name. Christine de Pizan is seen to be one of the first feminists, and Europe's first female professional writer. She used language to show that women could play an effective role in society and challenged misogyny within the arts.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Christine Tucker is a famous bearer. Christine is a commercial airline pilot and is included in the new book: in Their Shoes. The book is written by Deborah Reber.
A famous bearer is American actress Christine Baranski (born May 2, 1952). She received 4 Emmy Award nominations for her role as Maryann Thorpe on the Cybill Shepherd-starring sitcom "Cybill", winning one. She was nominated for an Emmy for a guest shot on the series "Frasier", and also has won 2 Tony Awards for supporting roles in plays "The Real Thing" and "Rumors".
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.
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.
This was my name; I changed it when I turned 18. It's beautiful on other people, and it's not trashy or anything, but I absolutely hated being called Christine. Plus Christina, Christine, Christy, and all the variants are far too common. I was one of four Christines in my graduating class.

This name is pretty and not too popular nowadays. I'm always called it because my name is Christina. XP
This name brings to mind a very grounded, down-to-earth and funny girl with a good personality. It reminds me of the gorgeous Christine Taylor, the winsome wife of Ben Stiller. I've never known a Christine, only Christinas. Christina seems harsh and stuck-up, like blond preppy girls and Christina Aguilera. Christine is humble and pretty.
Since my name is Christina, I have been called this name by well-meaning people many times. Although that can be kind of annoying, I do like Christine just a bit better than my name. Something about it just seems more graceful and feminine to me. Plus, I feel like it suits all ages very well, from a little baby to a old woman. I can see it fitting at any stage of life. It's fairly uncommon without being weird or unusual. It's a great, refreshing choice for a girl these days, I love it. :)
This is my daughters name and this saying still sticks. she is loving caring and gentle at times. she has her moments but she is still so carring. and a good combination with Christine for a middle name is Elaine. Watch its nice. its a toung twister at first buts its nice. Christine Elaine.
