Marina?

[ApplestheHare]

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if it's a bit like calling your child town centre or plaza something.

Stingray.

That is all.

Love it.

I'm thinking, "boat"?

KnockMeDown what's Stingray?

My dh just wanted to add it reminded him of a song from "Stingray"!

I absolutely love it. Really wanted it for my girl but was vetoed by oh. X go for it

Love it once your second name isn’t Coyle!

Just about to sing 'Marina, Aqua Marina...'!! But not a reason to abandon the name - lovely name and super show!

Love it

Thanks everyone.

Haha Bookworm01 is that an old film?

Plus who now would remember that?! (Apart from us!)

Nope.

Yeah, it's a fab name

In all honesty she was a character from stingray which was a children's series by the makers of thunderbirds. Think she was an underwater girl? Maybe mute?

I quite like it and it's a 'posh name' in my head. (Well, aside from Marina from Last of the Summer wine, the aged good time girl who was always getting her end away in a field with that henpecked man. Niche reference though ).

Others have explained before me. It's a classic series from the same genre as the original Thunderbirds. Marina was the beautiful and mysterious female lead, who couldn't speak. So not a bad association, unless she turns out very talkative!

Thanks KnockMeDown and GlennRheeismyfavourite, I'd never have known. Just had a google and it sounds like Stingray had some good characters!

Calloway thanks and not too niche a reference as I've heard of Last of the Summer Wine

I went to school with a girl called Marina and always thought it was a lovely name.

It's lovely

Was just coming on to say Stingray & thought no maybe not, no one would get the reference, as I’m very very old.
Very pretty name.

I think it's really nice!

No! It's a place to moor a boat and sounds very dated.

Love it. Sounds very parisienne to me. Actually distantly know some Marinas and they are lovely.
