OK ... what do we think of Tarina?

[fluffyraggies]

Sorry for having two threads on the go.

DH and i have actually managed to pull the same face: 'hmm, maybe' about this name.

It's as close as we've got to agreeing on something!

We like Tara but it rhymes directly with my name. That would be a bit twee ...

So ... Tarina - thoughts please?

(Names we cant agree on:
me: Darcy, Tabitha + Harriett.
DH: Francesca)

[toobreathless]

Not a fan sorry, it sounds like a brand or the female version of Taurus.

What about Cara, Coral, Tia?

Like all your other listed names, except Darcey.

[valiumredhead]

Love all your other names but Tarina doesn't do it for me at all, sorry.

It sounds made up iykwim?

waits for someone to say it's a classic

[CorrieDale]

I instantly thought tsarina. And 'oh dear'.

[fluffyraggies]

Lol - i love mumsnet

Schmaltzing - no, mines the 'Sorry if it's been done but Darcy ..' one. I'll read that one you mentioned.

[RoadToTuapeka]

Tara is lovely, really dislike Tarina. Sounds made up and makes me think of road tar.

[UnrequitedSkink]

It does sound a bit like a car...or petfood!

[AKissIsNotAContract]

Not keen. Marina is lovely.

[TSSDNCOP]

Made up and contrived. Odd when your other names are nice.

[fluffyraggies]

Tarina is old Irish apparently - meaning special place or hill ........

However - you are all right, Tarina is now in the bin.

We are now bickering over Marina. We both liked it - but then DH says it reminds him of meringue (the pudding) and i said i'd rather spell it with an 'e' - Merina. He said no.

arrrgghhh.

[painforlife]

sorry but that sounds awful, Tia sounds nice :)

[UnrequitedSkink]

Ooh ooh, Carina is lovely!

[PuppyMonkey]

Tarina sounds a bit like Cortina

Marina reminds me of Stingray

Marina, Aqua Marina.....

[DeffoBossLa]

It sounds like a name my dd would make up when playing princesses

[AKissIsNotAContract]

Marina is a royal name and it's top of our list for when I eventually get pregnant.

[BigW]

Not for me I'm afraid. Like your other names though. I know that does not help.

What about Thea?

[fluffyraggies]

puppy i'm old too i've just referred to Bernard Cribbins reading the Arabella and Mortimer books on another thread. I don't think anyone knows what i meant

[Littlecherublegs]

Don't like Tarina or Marina.

How about:
Teagan
Tamsin
Tasmin
Toyah
Tonia
Marnie
Maisie
Millie
Moira
Maya

[PuppyMonkey]

I love MN threads like this where op says what do you think of I dunno Maria or something. And people pop up saying they don't like it, but what about.... AnyTotallyRandomName

[Thisisanoutrage]

Not keen on Tarina. I met a Terenia once. I quite liked her name.

[Littlecherublegs]

Ooh crossed posts - I quite like Katrina.

Also thought of Stella, Catriona, Cara, Cora, Kristina, Coraline, Kirsten, Skylar, Hester, Esther, Astrid

[SuzySheepSmellsNice]

Isn't Marina the name of the old tart on Last of the Summer Wine who was shagging Howard? please note I only watched this as a youth because we only had one TV and I had literally no vote on what we watched
