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)

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.

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

I instantly thought tsarina. And 'oh dear'.

Lol - i love mumsnet

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

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

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

Not keen. Marina is lovely.

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

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.

sorry but that sounds awful, Tia sounds nice :)

Ooh ooh, Carina is lovely!

Tarina sounds a bit like Cortina

Marina reminds me of Stingray

Marina, Aqua Marina.....

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

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

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

What about Thea?

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

Don't like Tarina or Marina.

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

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

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

Ooh crossed posts - I quite like Katrina.

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

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
