I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] quite a bit, and I think [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Twiss is great. What about [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], or [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]?

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]!

I think it sound great. My only objection though is the Disney show Fresh [name_f]Beat[/name_f] Band, where the redhead’s name is [name_f]Marina[/name_f] (I think it’s her, could be the other girl though) & the white guy’s name is Twist. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Twiss just sounds too much like the show that lots of little kids are watching right now.

My DH wanted to name our girl [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f], told him no way, it’s the cow from [name_u]Mickey[/name_u] Mouse! lol!

brigid16: [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] would be a little too “water-y” for me since [name_f]Marina[/name_f] has the word connotation and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is related to dolphins. [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] is pretty with it, but I already have it paired with another name in my top few.

maripal: Thank you!

dphiebelle: Really? Darn, that is a little bit odd then. Not sure how I feel about having that association.

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Twiss sounds absolutely beautiful. My favorite combo is [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. Some suggestions are: [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Heloise[/name_f], [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Evadne[/name_f], [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/tte

7

sunshine kid: Thanks. I like [name_f]Evadne[/name_f] from your MN suggestions. [name_f]Heloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] just aren’t for me though.

8

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Twiss sounds like a literary character–very memorable and cool.

I’d avoid middles that start with A, the back-to-back sounds are awkward. I think [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Twiss is by far your best combo there–excellent flow, contrasting but complementary vibes. I like the subtle nature links, too.

9

Totally agree, with all of this. I tried to come up with middle names that not only sounded great with [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and Twiss, but also complimented the meaning of [name_f]Marina[/name_f].

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Hestia[/name_f] Twis
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] Twiss

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Illyria Twiss

I’m so sorry, but I just can’t get on board with [name_f]Marina[/name_f], mostly because there’s a popular contraceptive device called the [name_f]Mirena[/name_f] which is pronounced in the same way. Maybe that’s just where I am though (Australia)?
I think [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] Twiss would be just gorgeous. Best of luck!

11

I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Twiss the best. I love [name_f]Marina[/name_f]! I’ve always liked the nickname possibility of [name_f]Marnie[/name_f].

12

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Twiss sounds impressive, like someone from a great book. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is beautiful, international name that fit with most surnames.

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Olivine[/name_f]!

13

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] is such a pretty name. I love the names [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], but [name_f]Marina[/name_f]'s -a ending doesn’t quite fit with them ([name_f]Anouk[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] or [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] would be very nice, though). Of your combinations, [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is my favorite. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is great too. I’m not very familiar with Hesper—have you considered [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Hester[/name_f]? That could be quite pretty and vintage.

Other possibilities:

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Flannery[/name_u]

14

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Flannery[/name_u] is also very pretty.
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Olivine[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Flannery[/name_u] would be my first two pick.

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Brunhilde[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Briseis
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

15

I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Twiss & [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Olivine[/name_f] Twiss

16

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Twiss sound absolutely fabulous (no [name_m]Ab[/name_m] Fab pun intended). Saying it out loud it sounds like a name that could have easily been created by [name_u]Jo[/name_u] Rowling (and we all know that [name_u]Jo[/name_u] is an excellent namer, so that definitely is a good thing). [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is such a lovely name.

I love [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] Twiss and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Hesper Twiss, but the one that really stands out to me is [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] Twiss. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] are wonderful together, I would immediately make her [name_f]Anoushka[/name_f] though :smiley: I know there’s a na-An pickle, but I honestly don’t think it’s that bad.

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] Twiss (mainly because the [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] Twiss part sounds wonderful)
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Alvilda Twiss (is Alvilda too clunky? It looks stunning with [name_f]Marina[/name_f] though)
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] Twiss (pronounced KAHW-zee-mah, I think this is the suggestion I’m most satisfied with dorky smile)
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f] Twiss (similar ending as [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and Tolkien reference as with [name_f]Arwen[/name_f])
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] Twiss
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Fionnuala[/name_f] Twiss
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] Ivalo Twiss (Ivalo has been on my list with [name_f]Marina[/name_f] for a very long time now, it’s Greenlandic and pronounced EE-vah-loh)
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f] Twiss (too strong an N sound in the name? I don’t know, I think it looks great)
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] Twiss
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] Twiss

17

I just love the name [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. And with the last name it reminds me of an awesome heroine in some sort of adventure story. Combos I liked:

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Olivine[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]

geeknamezyo: Thank you :slight_smile:

liviajoan: Wow, thanks for so many suggestions! I like - [name_f]Cybele[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], & [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]. Names you suggested that I liked, just maybe not with [name_f]Marina[/name_f] are [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Hestia[/name_f], [name_f]Margo[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Idonea[/name_f], [name_f]Basilia[/name_f], [name_f]Gaia[/name_f], & [name_f]Iona[/name_f].

jem: No, we do have [name_f]Mirena[/name_f] here, but the association wouldn’t bug me. I’d barely make the connection anyhow. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] sounds pretty, but I don’t really want to use [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] as a first name.

larkub101: [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] is a cute nn. I like a lot of the nn possibilities for [name_f]Marina[/name_f]; not sure which I’d spring for in the end.

sorceress: I like that it is so international. Thanks! I like [name_f]Brunhilde[/name_f] and Briseis from your later suggestions.

hermione_vader: I’ll have to consider [name_f]Anouk[/name_f]/[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] as first names, as I’m liking the idea. Hesper is related to the evening star. [name_f]Hester[/name_f] is cute, but I don’t like it as much. Of your suggestions I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], and [name_u]Flannery[/name_u]. [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] I’m already using as a FN, and [name_f]Frances[/name_f], as much as I love it, I can’t use it. Too similar to the name of one of my cousins’ children.

katieydenberg: Thanks!

shvibziks: [name_f]Anoushka[/name_f] is so pretty too. I love the majority of your suggestions, but [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Ivalo really is stunning and standing out to me the most. I may have to steal it. :wink:

redrobin: Thank you very much :slight_smile:

19

Oh please do! I’m trying hard to export Greenlandic names and normally people don’t really like them (or can’t pronounce them, the majority of them are pronounced in Kalaallisut so I do understand that it’s a pickle). I’m so glad you like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Ivalo :smiley:

20

shvibziks: Right now I’m narrowed down to [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] or [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Ivalo, so yes, I certainly like it a great deal!
