[name_f]Mariela[/name_f] is a bit rhymey with [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is fine, I think.

[name_f]Marnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marna[/name_f]
Marilena
[name_f]Marta[/name_f]
[name_f]Malina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirella[/name_f]
[name_f]Mireia[/name_f] / [name_f]Mireya[/name_f] / [name_f]Mireille[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f]

I also think [name_f]Mira[/name_f] or [name_f]Mina[/name_f] on its own would work.

1 [name_f]Marina[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Mira[/name_f] could work. [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] are fine together. I like the subtle star and sea connection. The Virgin [name_f]Mary[/name_f] reference is “[name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f]”.

2 [name_f]Maura[/name_f] - an pretty and underused name

3 [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - a lovely name but serious and buttoned-down compared to the sassy [name_f]Stella[/name_f].

4 [name_f]Mariela[/name_f] - too similar to [name_f]Stella[/name_f]

Agree with @mischa on [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. I think it would be perfect with [name_f]Stella[/name_f]!

[name_f]Marina[/name_f], even though I do love [name_f]Miriam[/name_f].

I love both [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Mira[/name_f]. [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] sound so cool together!

Oh I had totally forgotten that we had already eliminated [name_f]Mariela[/name_f] because it rhymes with [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. It’s an important name to us, though, so we might use it as a middle if we go a different direction for the first name. [name_f]Glad[/name_f] people like [name_f]Marina[/name_f]! :slight_smile:
