Nikita Raine
Please, please read:


I love the name Nikita, I can use Nicky or Kitty as short names (which I love).
It's of Greek origin, most popular in Russia. I've, personally, only seen it used once by a Middle Eastern/Indian (and was surprised to see it used by anyone!). So, it's very rare, even more so in the U.S.


I've been flirting with this name for a short time, about 3-4 years. I love the name Nicky (for a boy or a girl), but I don't like the names Nicole or Nicolette or just plain Nicky. I like to have variations for any one name.


Most people have a negative or blah-zay reaction to it.


Raine will be her middle name for sentimental reasons.


I know people will say to go with my own heart on a name (and I probably will). But I really want to know whether it will be shunned. I don't take well to negative reactions and wouldn't want to subject my child to any sort of automatic criticism.


The back up name is the very popular Isabella. I've had this name chosen for several decades but now that I'm in my child-bearing years it has shot to the top 4, which leaves me shying away.


My son's name is Keaton. People seem to have trouble hearing it correctly and always repeat "Kaiden?"
I don't know if saying "Keaton and Nikita" has a good flow.
Nikita doesn't seem as delicate as Isabella. But I love Nicky and Kitty more than Izzy for short. I'm just kind of torn!


Please help me with your honest opinions!! Thank you!

My honest opinion is that I love it, and I generally don't like names with a K in them.

It rates way above Isabella in my head.

Kitty for a nickname is just perfect!

I like kitty as a nn for Nikita. If the middle name is sentimental for you then I think you should deffo use it x

 

[LittleLala]

What a beautiful name! And I absolutely love the nn Kitty

It reminds me of the movie Atlantis the princess' name was kita I think it's a cute name

I have to admit, it's growing on me. And with the middle name, it's very pretty. Nikita Raine has a very nice ring to it.

"Niki" is a cute nickname... I prefer this spelling rather than "Nicky" which in my opinion is the boy version/boy spelling of the name. (Nikki/Niki/Nicki = girl version).

I don't think anyone would tease the name Nikita - why would they? (I do think "Kitty" as a nickname has teasing potential though.)

I know an exceptional little girl named Nikita. I love the name. She was named after the TV show. =)

I like the name Raine, but together with Nikita sounds just a tad too unique for me.

I love it! I love different names but not too 'out there' so to me, it's perfect. Kitty for short is adorable!

I like Nikita! Personally I don't think a name has to 'go' with a siblings name but I don't see why it wouldn't go with Keaton. This is just me but I cannot stand the name Isabelle - makes me think of a lady with dementia who I used to care for, each morning she woke up and had to go milk Isabelle her pet cow. Again, it's just me.
