Any thoughts?

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

I'd not thought about Marina Hyde or Abramovic but both are great, thank you!

Lovely and unusual

I really like it, it seems like a ‘cool’ name to me

It’s my name 🙈 pretty sure I got named after the car, and people always sing the aquamarina song to me (very annoying). Most recently it happened about two weeks ago....
DH thinks it’s not a proper name but I love it, stands out a bit and I quite like the odd jokes about cars, boats etc.
My mum thinks it’s a posh name! I think on one hand it sounds posh, on the other, super tacky. Depends on what you associate it with I guess. ah well, I still like it!

I’d say go for it, never caused me any issue. (But I have grown to hate stingray with a passion)

Haha thanks reeny19 I'm glad you like it despite the singing! I think we'll use it if everything goes to plan over the next few weeks.

I think it's a strong international name and quite usable. I think of the royal family - the queen's aunt by marriage was Princess Marina and there are currently 2 Marinas (descendants of the first Marina) in the royal family - Marina Charlotte Alexandra Katharine Helen Windsor, and Marina Victoria Alexandra Ogilvy.

I love this name, it's classy, timeless, easy to spell, unusual but not weird.

Great name!
