I'm not trying to be anal, trivial or anything like that... but I keep seeing these posts about "X-Tina" in refererence to Christina Aguilera and it got me wondering about this...
People often abbreviate Christmas with the "X-mas" acronym... the "X" standing for "Christ"... So, it follows that the correct acronym for Christina would be "X-ina"... not "X-tina"... after all, it's not called "Christtmas", right???
Any opinions on this???

X-Tina is pronounced better against the tongue. "X-Ina" doesnt even look right plus people would like its Xena.  |

"Christina" is just fine by me. "X-tina" sounds kinda like "extinct".

X-ina...lol...U got a point...lol. Thank you... I thought so... I mean we don't celebrate not "Christtmas" in December do we??? X-tina = "Christtina"... so maybe X-tina would work if she spelled her name with the extra "T"... lol... OK... see what the all-star break does... gives me extra free time to overthink things... I'll be back in mostly stealth mode for another 2 1/2 months or so... enjoy the topic... peace. |

"X-ina" sounds like eczema.
Does Christina Aguilera call herself "X-tina", or is that just a nickname her fans have made up, or is it in reference to her non-PG rated music videos?

From what I gather, the X is short for cross which sounds like chris, not christ...
However, the T is silent in Christmas
The T is very important in the name Christina
so it makes sense for it to be X-tina rather than X-ina!!

If she used X-ina it'd sound like Xena and all the haters would go around saying she copied Xena or something, plus X-Tina sounds better.

Actually, if you want to get technical, the X does indeed stand for "the cross"... which many people use to represent Christ... I'm not sure where the "sounds like" aspect comes from... anyways... this point forward I'll be using "X-ina"... unless she wants to add a "T" to her first name... |
