[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f] are my favorites for [name_f]Marina[/name_f], with [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] as a close third. For [name_f]Leonie[/name_f], I really like [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f].
Does anyone find the -ina in [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and the -ine in [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] to be too repetitive or otherwise odd sounding together?
Lots of gorgeous combos, but my absolute favourites are [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]. They feel strong yet feminine.
I love your taste! [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] are both great names. I also really love [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], but I think two 3-syllable names in a row is a bit much. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] sounds perfect, and I love the two names with nature meanings together. A lot of your [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] combos also have the 3-3 thing, but I chose [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] because the -o- in [name_f]Violet[/name_f] often gets blended so that it becomes the two-syllable [name_f]Vi[/name_f]-let, and I think they sound great together and are complementary in feel.
@winifredsnow: I’m pronouncing it as [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-OH-nee. I figure that’s how most folks in my area would say it so it’s the simplest route (I like either way, myself, so it’s not a big deal).
