It sounds like the name of a cruise ship

All tacky... poor kid.

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 27/12/2022 20:50

It's the name of our local chippy,

Hoppinggreen · 27/12/2022 20:50

Just don’t

Babyroobs · 27/12/2022 20:51

marina.

Lilyhop · 27/12/2022 20:52

My husband dislikes all these names by the way. He likes Eliza, Emmeline, Sophia… so it might be that ‘my’ name is just the middle one..

Marina?

Lilyhop · 27/12/2022 20:54

DH also likes Violet, which is one of the only ones I like as well. I like it but don’t love it.
I’m determined to find a name I love that he likes..

The nightclub comes straight to mind hearing that name! I don't think I'd want people to say "Oh, like the night club?" on hearing my name, but maybe not many people would make that association, I'm not sure.

IamSamantha · 27/12/2022 20:58

It's a cruise ship my DM and Aunty go on. Sorry but no.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/12/2022 21:00

Marina is the obvious one, there's also Maris ("of the sea"). Or maybe Nereida (sea nymph)?

IntentionalError · 27/12/2022 21:00

Oceana sounds like the name of a cruise ship because that’s exactly what it was. P&O operated Oceana between 2002 & 2020. My mum sailed on her several times.

TheodoreMortlock · 27/12/2022 21:05

Cordelia? Means heart of the sea / daughter of the sea.

Notonyournellykelly · 27/12/2022 21:05

What is it about ocean themed names that you like? Is it the nature aspect? How about something like Willow or Winter? Or;

Lilac
Autumn
Wren
Robin
Seren (means star)

SommerTen · 27/12/2022 21:05

My dad had an orange Morris Marina.

And Oceana is a cruise ship.

wildthingsinthenight · 27/12/2022 21:07

Marina or Coral

LizzieBet14 · 27/12/2022 21:07

None

Notonyournellykelly · 27/12/2022 21:08

Coral is a good suggestion or how about Pearl?

Berlinlover · 27/12/2022 21:09

I hear this name screamed every single day by a local chav woman in the supermarket where I work when she’s looking for her daughter.

BlancPetal · 27/12/2022 21:10

I'd go with Marina

HoHoHowMuch · 27/12/2022 21:13

Ocean on its own is nicer.

Coral
Ariel - little mermaid
Marisol
Calypso - possibly better as a dog name as we watch too much Bluey
Pearl

Sandysandwich · 27/12/2022 21:13

Talia
Marin
Adriana
Morwenna
Have waterish meanings
