Christiana

I think this name is a wonderful alternative to Christina and Christine. I think I love it when it's spelled Kristiana.

So so SO beautiful! Tiana is a perfect nickname too!

My name is Christiana (pronounced Kris-tee-ah-na) but people often mistaken it for Christina or pronounce it like crish-tee-ah-na which I hate so much cause it sounds like they were about to say Christian! Anywho, I think it's a pretty name but I just go by Chrissy. It is nice but I am not religous and it is a religous name but my mother did not know the meaning of it when she named me.

I love it as a first or middle name, but I can see how it would be butchered with Christina. I can imagine how annoying that'd be. I like the nicknames Tiana, Chrissy, Christi, Tia etc. It's such a beautiful name!

Christiana is beautiful and sophisticated! I love this name, just as much as I love Christine and Christina! The nicknames Chris, Christie, and Tiana are adorable! It is a very long name and a little too much for a baby girl. Kind of reminds me of royalty, but I still like it!

On babynamespedia.com it said the baby girl name Christiana is also used as a boy's name. Don’t name your son Christiana. He’ll get teased and beat up on the playground.
They must have made a typo on their website.

My grandma's name is Christiana and I think it's really pretty!

My name is Christiana. It is very unique, not too many people have the name. I get called Christina a lot since I was a little girl and it gets irritating. My twin brother's name is Christian and my Mother's name is Christina. Everyone loves my name and wants to name their daughter my name and how they never heard the name before.

This is my name, it's always been pronounced "Christi-yanna" because the "ah/aw" way sounds too snooty. Chris-ti-AH-na sounds like you wish you were royalty in my honest opinion. Everyone I tell my name to comments on how pretty it is but as it's my name I don't hear it. Hated how different it was as a child! Also, those comments about tomboys and inelegant women could easily be me. I did not suit the femininity of this name until my twenties.

Very pretty name. I knew a girl at school who had this name and people would always call her Christina.

I like this, but would not use it.
Pronounced like the boy name Christian.

I know a girl named this, I think it's pretty. She pronounces it chris-tee-ahn-uh.

This is my stepsister's name (pronounced kris-tee-AHN-uh), only she goes by Christi. And let me tell you, she is *not* elegant! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love her to death, but everyone is talking about how this is such an "elegant" name, but when I think of Christiana, I think of a volleyball center-position MVP who is a total tomboy. I guess the name is pretty enough, but I'm really not even a fan of "Chris" names to begin with.

A very elegant sounding name. But if you name your daughter Christiana, you have to bring them up to be an elegant person. I have a friend with this name who is very hyper and doesn't think before she talks-- I don't think this name suits a person like that.

This name seems too long and overdone in English. The positive thing is that it's not Christina or Christine, those overused names. But that's not much of a reason to choose the name, now is it? How about being so original that you stay away from all these Chris names?

This is a very beautiful (and even somewhat exotic) name and a great alternative to the overly popular Christina. I think Christiana has an extra something that makes it that more pretty.

This is such a beautiful name. Lots of great nicknames for it and not over popular.

This is a beautiful name. If I name my daughter, her name will be pronounced as "CHRIS-TEE-AHN-A." I love this name. I personally chose this pronunciation for my little girl. It can also be pronounced and spelled differently as one wishes.
