Marina thoughts?

[CornforthWhite]

Do you like the name? OH is desperate to use it and I'm unsure. I overthink and worry about everything little thing - so I am a panickier when it comes to names. Siblings Samuel and Alastair. Thank you

I like Marianna better

Or Martha
Marina is nice but it does sound like a sailing marina

Marina is a place to keep boats. Even my phone is telling me to use this picture

• ⛵

Marianna or Maria are nice though.

Or the car
It’s a bit old fashioned

Princess Alexandra's daughter is called Marina, it's very pretty although I recall she was a bit of an embarrassment to her parents mid 1980's or therabouts.

It's nice. Makes me think of a posh girl, the type whose photo would grace the society pages of Tatler.

Reminds me of the mirena coil

I like it

It's a beautiful name, but it does make me think of boats.

The woman in Last of the Summer Wine on her bike!

But must people won't think that. I'm just old! It's nice x

I like it! :)

Thunderbirds. But I am old.

Dated! Very early 1980s. Should have a sibling called Tiffany and another called Keith.

I thought of the coil 😳. Sorry

Sounds a bit too much like mirena (the coil) to me sorry.

Also yes, not thunderbirds but stingray (same crowd though) 'marina, aqua mariiiina'

X post with Starlight456

I have a goddaughter called Marina. It still hasn't grown on me, I prefer Maira, Mia, Maya, Maria or Mariana

Yup coil for me too.

Another one for whom the Mirena coil came to mind first here. I love the name Yasmine which is also a family name but there is a popular contraceptive pill called Yasmin .

I'll contradict most others replying and say that I like it very much. Never met a Marina but picture a very elegant young woman, hair in a ponytail. Wearing capri trousers and a breton top.

Makes me think of contraception sorry

I love Marina.

I like it

My SIL is Marin but her full name is Marinella, admittedly she's Italian, but I think it's nice

Should read my SIL is Marina - doh!
