Nina has no name! At least, no real name. "Nina Fortner" was a name given to her by her foster parents. She also uses the name "Anna Liebert", albeit much less frequently.
It's actually a plot point in Monster that Nina and her brother (and several other characters) have no real names. Because Nina was born as part of an experiment, during which it was decided it was unnecessary to name her, she has no birth certificate and no real, legal name.
Her mother did think of a name for her but was never allowed to formally give it to her. (We never find out what the name is.) I'm open to resolving this however you want! I just thought I should let you know, since it could potentially be an issue.
