I think It's pretty. I knew a European Nadine in college who played the baritone saxophone. Unusual & spunky, yet feminine. And I love the country song.
I need to speak my name three times for someone to understand. I did not like it when I was a kid, because there was no one famous in my country by that name. At the age of 17 I began to love being called by my name. My cousins call me Dine.
My little girl is called Nadine. Most people at her'school call her Naydeen..although the proper pronounciation is Nahdeen..although it doesn't bother me. It is originally a Russian name which the French turned to Nadine.
Naydeen is the name....my parents said a form of Slavic it came!! I love the'spelling, its uniqueness and of course the fact that my parents both chose it with the knowledge that it meant hope. A gift such as this from 2 loving parents is indeed a spiritual gift to be enjoyed throughout life.
My sisters name is Nadine. My mother is FRENCH and my dad SIREN, which is Arab. She deff. looks like a Nadine. I do not know of very many girls with this name. And the ones I do see, DO NOT look like the name! You have to pull it off. She does! She is gorgeous, black hair, light brown eyes. My whole fam is like that, expect me, Olivia, blonde hair, green eyes (my dad's eyes) but anywho, My sister pulls of NADINE SO well.. jealous❤️ You should be!
Nadine is a beautiful name, feminie yet strong. I think It's perfect for a girl.
My name is Nadine and it took a while for me to actually like my name. I hated it when i was little because every one would always say, "i've never heard that name before". Over the years the only thing that bothe's me is when i introduce myself and i get a confused look back and they reply "Needy"❤️❤️❤️ I just look back at them with an "are you serious" face and repeat my name real loudly and annunciated. Other than that I am proud of my name, I like that It's so unique.
My name is Nadine(pronounced Na-dine) i get very frustrated when I'm at Starbucks and no one seems to get my name right. They call me lydia. Most people pronounced it as Naydeen. It used to bother me but I don't let it worry me anymore. I love my name very much.the older i get the more i embrace it. My name is unique
My grand-daughter was born July 26, and we called her Nadine. Many other names were suggested but we all agreed on Nadine because of its meaning 'hope' and because it is musical.
Nadine Is a perfect Girl's name.. I love it & I'm proud to be called it. Most of the time people call me 'Deanie' Short for Nadine. For the parents out there Nadine is great! Make it famous! Hehe, loving it!
my name is unique, nadine is a very beautiful name, yeah ofc when i was little i used to want to have a different name but now that I'm a little bit older, i actually kinda dig it. It's a little hard to pronounce it if You're from different countries or if you speak a different language but It's a very nice name
My name is Nadine, and when people first meet me they say nadiene but you are supposed to pronounce it like nadean people often mispell it they usually spell it like nadean when It'should be nadine. I have never met any other person with my name.
it is such a great name, different thn commun names
I love the name Nadine. It has been my favorite name for years.
My name is Nadine and I have a twin sister named Nadia. I love my name'so much. It is unique and beautiful. I pronounce it as nay deen but a lot of people prounce it as na deen. Usually if I just met them. But either way is fine with me. I think na deen is more mature and nay deen is young and cute. But overall I love my name. I have only met one person with my name and odd enough her best friends name was nadia. But other than that I don't know anyone else.
Hi, my name in Nadine, I love the name I was born in the Caribbean in Trinidad and Tobago, and I am 50 years old.
my name is pronnounced nay-deen but im used to everyone saying nah-deen i have only met two in my area up to now and yes a lot of people do spell it wrong
HI'my is Nadine I'm 43 an Australian. I find it a frustrating name to have! I like it prounced Nay Dean. But i also get Megan or Nardine, or Na Dean Australians like to break works into to syllables like "G-Day!
My name is Nadine.My name is pronounced nay-deen. i am 13 years old and i am not really fond of my name. some people call me nay or dine... and another..Nads.
In 1927 I was named after my mother's best friend who was French. The French prounciation is with a very short "a" and emphasis on the last sylllable. They mostly use the long "A" with emphasis on the "NA". Even'tho' I introduce myself using the French pronounciation, most people will I'mediately pronounce it the other way. I'met no Nadines of either pronouncation for the 62 years I lived in New York, but i've met six or seven since moving to Tucson AZ. Of course there have been many, many distorted attempts to say Nadine. i've learned to answer to almost any version. It's a fun name to have.
My mum was born in the UK in the 1930's and was named Nadine, I have since met 2 other Nadines who I went to school with in the UK. Love the name!
My name is Nadine, and I love it! I find It's commonly misheard as Katie. Like a few people have said, It's just such a different name that people aren't used to hearing it! I heard that nay-deen is the american way to pronounce it, and my parents insist that it be said "nah-deen" (stubborn dutchies). :D
My name is Nadine, and i never liked it either at first, cause it was so hard for people to hear you the first time! But yeah its great cause its very uncommon and i constantly get compliments now, they say its a very beautiful name. Until they start asking how you like it pronounced. "NAYdine" or "NAHdine"
My name is Nadine and i love it!! :D In my lifetime up to now i have only knew like 3 nadines and i was very surprised. Alot of people hear my name wrong and uaually pronounce it wrong. It means hope and my friends think it is a very sexy name!! And it totally suits me :)
My names Nadine, and i have never met another. I love my name. I also pronounce my name nuh-deen. I have had different nicknames from dd to deanie. Im so glad i got a unusual name and not a boring common name!! :)
My name is Nadine...which I find the meaning to be quite appropriate (Hope)in my life. i'very rarely meet people with this name, therefore, I feel quite special and unique.
I love the'sound and meaning of Nadine(nay-deen). It's a pretty pretty name which sounds so ladylike...so feminine...so angelic. i've named my daughter 'Nadine' and I hope she LOVES her name

I was named for my grandmother .It is unique,strong and feminine.It grows with a female child well.I was Deenie as a little girl, Nadine (pronounced nah-deen , the deen part clipped) in my teens and now as a grown woman I go by Dean. Every other Nadine i have met has a wonderful story to tell.
My name is Nadine and I love it! ^__^ my best friend pronounces my name as "Naideen" But I just let him even if that's not exactly how I'd pronounce it. Everyone else though doesn't have any problems with my name :)
my names NADINE ...and im from the philippines... this just happened that i got inter'sted in knowing the meaning of my name due to an important matter i was surprised coz nadine MEANS HOPE AND COURAGE:)) and that inpires me..most of the times people would pronounce my name wrong which is bad i used to say to them that nadine is pronounce as NEY-DEEN OR NUH-DEEN i have so many nicknames most of them are din-din nadz deenie or sometimes they even call me ney:))
My name is Nadyn. People always spell my name wrong and most of the time mispronounce it. My name actually has 2 pronunciations since I have hispanic family but in English It's Nay-deen. I have not actually met many people that'share my name, and I haven't met anyone that'spells it the'same. I have two nicknames Nany and Deenie (:
So my name is Nadine and in my birth certificate (they spelled it wrong) I'm It's nadin.I am 12, In kindergarten I remember writing my name and my teacher told me to remove the e. Everyone mistakes me for Nadia,Nay-deen, Najee❤️s,Nadeem and more I'm from Iraq and I am a Virgo my name is unique and I love it even'though no one spells it right I wanted to be named Emma
Love this name also, and not just because It's mine! can't beli've when I was younger I wanted to be called Katy or Sarah or some other boring name!
I used to hate my name and I always felt self-conscious as a youngster. People could pronounce it correctly, spell it or even remember it! Now I like my name because it is different although it is becoming more popular. I particulary like the fact that Nadine means "hope". Hope is such an encouraging word. It offers inspiration and makes one feel good. I am glad my name is Nadine. Clearly there are many other Nadine's who feel as blessed as I to have such a wonderous name.
I'm a Nadine, and i've been riding on hope long before i knew the context of my name. I'm a scorpio, french-irish, and a writer, and i feel that my name'suits my perfectly.
its my name!! everyone prenounces it wrong and even spells it wrong!! haahaa but It's quite funny.. my brother calles me 'deen deen' because he can't prenounce it just yet!! x
It's my name. I pronounce it nay-DEEN. My nickname is Naddie, and the only downside is that people can't either'spell it or prounounce it. I was named after Nadine Gordimer, and I look up to her. I have never met another Nadine in my life, but someday I probably will. This name is cool.
This was my Granddaddy's name. Yes very original, but I still love it!
hey I'm Nadine .. I think that the wrigh way to say it is NAH-DEEN like lareen noreen cerine .. an so .. I love my name , It's very unique one and a special name to have .. lucky that It's my name .. hop every girl is going to be proud of her name because not every girl has the chance to be named in shuch a name ..
My daughters name is Nadine. She lives in Ireland. She loves her name. We often call her de de or nad.
My name is Nadine and I love the name'so much! It's unique and it means hope in french, and fun to be around too! Surprisingly, few people ever mispronounce it,NAY DEEN,is how It's said. This name is totally awesome and exotic, I love this name!! :)
My Name is Nadin:D..and i really love my name..but i dont really know what it means =S.. They Call mee Doona or Nene :P
My names nadine, but in everyone pronounces It'slightly different, i personally would like it to be Ner-deen... When i say my name to people they always seem to think i say Lizzy which is just weird, i have never met anyone with my name how ever i have heard someone on the radio with it and i was like some what exited... I personally have a love hate relationship with my name
I'm named Nadine and personally love it for It's meaning, along with how uncommon it is (i've only met two other Nadines in my life). The downside would be the pronunciation. I was given'the French pronunciation (Nuh-Deen), but in America many people say Nay-Deen. If I try to introduce myself as Nuh-Deen, I'm usually met with confusion. Then'there are the people who consistently call me Natalie or Nadia...surprisingly common how often I get this. In short: I can't stand the mispronunciation of the name, but I love how unique and powerful it is. Overall I'm happy with my name, but I won't deny that I always cringe a little inside when someone yells "NAY-deen!"
I used to hate it... But now i can't imagine how lucky i am! I am from ukraine here It's mean hope! And i really like when smb calls me Nadiusha!
I'm from Germany where Nadine is quite a common name. There were loads of Nadine's in my school and at uni. I'm expecting ababy now and if It's a girl I want to call her Nadine, as I really like the name.

My name is Nadine. I'm 41, and I was adopted and my Parents thought it was fitting because Nadine means Hope, as they were hoping for a child. My parents pronounce my name Nuh-deen, but I have never been able to pronounce it that way, I address myself pronounced as Nay-deen, but I don't mind how othe's pronounce it. Nicknames: Deenie, Deen, Nay.
I was named after my Mother's best friend, who was French. For 86 years my family has pronounced it "Nuhdine". People don't listen so when I introduce myself it always comes back as "Hi Naydine. Nice to meet you." I'meet a lot more Nays than Nuhs.
Love it! It's my name. I still don't meet too many Nadines, which is fine with me - it reinforces my unique qualities.
My name's Nadine..I'm 14 & Russian. I do quite like the name even'though I don't really think It'suits my personality..I'm basically a 'dyke' and I think the name's maybe to feminine❤️❤️ I pronounce it Nih-deen or nuh-deen..i hate nah-deen or nay-deen xD I do like having an unusual name though ^_^
i really like my name nadine.but one thing hate is when it is pronounced wrongly. i think that this name is just awesome and cool. im really proud of my name , it also has nice meaning and its a french form of the russian name nadia! wow i love my name!
I'm a Nadine, I love my name, though in high school the teache's used to pronounce my name as Nay-deen when its Nah-deen! My nickname is Deanni, pronounced DEANIE! I'made up the'spelling myself b/c re-arrange the letters and It'spells Nadine (:
My name is Nadine and I think my name is AMAZING!! It is very unique and is very cool sounding. Now when I go to Starbucks that is always a problem cause they do not know how to spell is so it usually ends up being "Nanda" or my favorite one "Nicole". But overall MY NAME IS AMAZING!! (BTW my name is pronounced Nay-Deen)!!!
hI'my name is nadine.usually the ones who pronounce it wrong are people with english tongue.they spell it as "NAYDEEN" or "NAYDYEN" but i love my name and It's pronounced "NAADEEN" because it is a french name.

my name is nadine. It's not the best name nor the worst one but i do like it. bcs It's unique and different. but when i go to starbucks they always write "nadie" which makes me sometimes a little bit angry hihi.
I adore my name, and I love seeing all the other Nadines here from around the world! I'm in Oregon and have met a small handful of other Nadines here. My parents are Russian speakers who say ❤️nah-deen,❤️ and I say ❤️nay-deen.❤️ i've also responded to ❤️nuh-deen❤️ - I'm truly one of the few people who doesn't care. i've never had major issues with people not understanding my name or baristas getting it wrong, but sometimes people file through a few other N names before landing on the right one. I like that It's uncommon enough to be special, but most people have heard it at least once and it doesn't turn any heads. Thanks mom and dad!
My name is Nadine I do like it it is hard when people call u the wrong thing or ur teache's can't even say the nmame but I'm sure when I grow up I❤️ll like it even more
My name is Nadine, I am 21 years old. I rarely meet people with my name. I went all through school never meeting another Nadine. I got a job and funny enough 2 years after they hired me they hired another Nadine. I used to hate the name when I was a kid because its so uncommon I always had to repeat myself. I love it now though. I love that is is unique and I love that the name means 'hope'. I have always had the nickname 'Dine'.
My name is Nadine and I am from Jamaica (in the Caribbean). When I was a child it was a popular name but now nobody uses it anymore in Jamaica which makes me feel even more unique. I love my name, and now I am in the USA I insist that people call me Nah-deen and not Ney-deen as they tend to say. Hope, and courage. That's the character'sation of my life indeed!
I love my name'so much!! (: I think It's soooo cute and feminine. Mine is obviously pronounced nuh-deen It's really stupid when someone pronounces it nay-deen because that'd be a whole other different name
My name is Nadine too! And like everyone else, I love my love but get soooo annoyed when people say it wrong. I'm a NAYdeen not, NUHdeen. A lady I worked with called me NURdeen, that one really bugged me. But my biggest bugbear is when i've corrected someone and they still say it wrong. Drives me mad the rude people!! I'm know to all my friends and family as 'Nade', I'm not super keen on it because I like Nadine more so I don't introduce myself that way, but at least you can't say it wrong!

My name is also Nadine. I used to think I was the only one, it was so uncommon and I could never find mugs/stationary/magnets etc. with my name which made me sad. But now I love that when I hear my name I know they're talking of me compared to the two dozen "Emilys" or "Ashleys" in the room. In the baby books "Nadine" means hope so I want to get the Chinese symbol for hope on my lower back to represent both my name and the concept that leads my life.
nadine in german means the courage of a bear also. so nadine means hope and courageeee woohooooo now i got happy with my name :)
It is my favourite girl's name and (perhaps not surprisingly) the name of my all time favourite girl. Like her, I think the name is very feminine, classy and sexy.

I'moved to secondary school in a neighbouring town and you beli've it, still the only Nadine in the'school. I really love my name now and I don't mind how It's pronounced, mind you i've had 73 years to get used to it!
