It's interesting how Tina is a diminutive of many other names. This happens with its masculine counterpart Tino too, such as Tarantino, Costantino, and Martino. The diminutive of the name Elaine is Lanie, it's not exactly the same but similar enough!
I think Basil is a really cute name, but I think my SO will say no. The opposite where there are five Sams, three Sara(h)s, and two Maxes (M&F) in a class of 30 is annoying though.

I heard that it is supposedly forbidden in my country to name a child "Satan". I live in a pretty progressive/ not very religious country, so I find that absolutely moronic.
I would totally ask if it was possible to assign that as a second name.
And even though my low low bar, I would probably never name my child after any brand, place or food item. Names that sugest stupidity are also off the list.
I would like to call them Ramond Luxury Yacht. But i won't because nobody would pronounce it correctly.
Now seriously, we deliberately chose first names for our children that would be easy to pronounce in most languages. They also got slightly more exotic second names in case they didn't like their first names.
I really wanted to name my daughter Ceilidh, but my wife would not stand for it. I was even willing to compromise down to Ceili! She also objected to Cadence and Victory.
Somehow got her to agree to Gynhwyfar and Clothilde and Yetska, though.
I am scared of being a mom. Both because I probably couldn't keep up with it and because I run extra risks if I ever became pregnant. But if I for some reason became one in full, I'd name her Christina (if a girl) or the masculine equivalent if a boy. Both me and my birth mother are Tinas, her name is Celestina and my birth name before being adopted was (and still is in certain countries) Valentina, and that's like the tiebreaker in terms of names. It so happens I'm a quasi-mother-figure (though not in a traditionally full sense) to a certain Christina ever since my last ancestor passed away.
