Opinions on Marina

[HattieBistro]

Does this name conjure up images of the sea and a place for boats or is it an underused classic?

Does anyone know any RL Marinas?

I love it. Dp vetoed it because it was to 'boaty'.

Lovely - know a beautiful Russian art student named Marina.

Isn't Ben Fogle's wife called Marina? I think it sounds very exotic and pretty!

I think first of the Princess, then of the car (used to be the other way round, when the cars were in production and on the road).

Also, the first time someone mentioned a mirena to me, I misheard that as "Marina" - I'm not sure if that's just me, or if others would make a link too.

I know three, one Russian, one German, one Swiss. I think it's a nice, pretty name which works well in lots of languages. Quite girly but not too frilly and over the top.

Marina and the diamonds. I love her therefore the name is win!
