I'm really begining to like the name Christiana. (CHRIS-T-ON-A) or (Chris-chee-onna)
The only thing that bugs me is that it looks like Christina.
Do you think people would mistake it as Christina or is it clear that its not pronounced that way?
Also, any nicknames besides chrissy/christa etc.?

I thought about Tiana, but its not really my style.
I thought about Chrissy, Christa, Tiana and Tina but I totally overlooked Ana! I didnt even think about it. I like Ana. :D
Thanks!

Hadnt thought about Chrisa. I like the sound of it. I'd probably spell it like Chrissa, though.
I was also thinking about Christi, its growing on me.

Okay, so for nicknames I've got Ana/Anna (maybe 2 nn's idk), Chrissa & Christi.
I think I like Chrissa the best, then Ana and then Christi, but I'm not sure yet (I change my mind all the time :P )

Thanks for the help with the nicknames everyone! :D

One of my best friends who was my roommate in college is named Christiana. (I also had another roommate named Kristina) Christiana went by Christi. I also like the idea of Ana or Tia for a nn. With such a long name you'd want a short middle name to got with it.

It might be every once and a while, but not that often, I wouldn't think :D

Hehehe, the name makes me think of Hamlet :P (haha, funny book....)

But I think it's really nice. Nick names for Christiana, I would think, besides Chrissy would be:
~ Riss
~ Tiana
~ Ana
~ Anie
~ Tia
~ Chri (like Kreee?)
~ Istie


Not sure how valid they are, but a nick name is a nick name, doesn't have to be realistic :P

Hope I helped!

Hmm...Tia's cute.
I like the soud of it, but I dont know if I personally would use it.

I like the idea of Riss, maybe Rissa? I dont even know if that works or not!
Ha. Oh well. I'm adding it to the nickname list.

We had the same roommates, and I know that almost everyone gets her name wrong at first meeting. And yes, they usually mistake it for Christina. But I don't think it was too big of a hassel for her to correct them. If someone asked the spelling, she would usually say it is like Christian with an A. :D

Why would you worry about a nickname for such a beautiful name as Christiana?! That is a lovely name, very unique and pretty. My nephew's name is Krystian. =)
Yes, I'm sure there would be some people that would assume it's "Christina", but I don't think it looks like it's supposed to be pronounced Christina.

I guess I dont NEED a nickname for Christiana. I just think it would be nice to say than calling out her full name all the time. Idk!

I could get over the whole Christina thing, I guess, its not too big of a deal to have to correct people!
