Can’t believe Nameberry still shows the name “[name_f]Marin[/name_f]” as only a female name! Interestingly, 15 out of the 18 “famous Marins” listed on the Nameberry page for the name are men. My son – [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] (with cousins [name_m]Ian[/name_m] and [name_m]Colin[/name_m]) – in considering names for his son was searching for yet another strong-yet-romantic name with that “-an, -in, -on” ending that has not been over-used. “[name_f]Marin[/name_f]” means “of the sea” (and is also the word for “sailor” in [name_m]French[/name_m]), is not an unheard of name in [name_f]France[/name_f], and is very popular in Croatia. The name dates back to medieval times. I suggested the name “[name_m]Talon[/name_m],” but my son wanted a more “real” name and opted for “[name_f]Marin[/name_f].” It really does grow on you as you use it for a boy – the desired strong-while-also-romantic sound – and with the popularity of the name “[name_u]Sailor[/name_u],” could offer a good alternative for parents looking for a male name. Come on, Nameberry, let’s get it listed as “male or female.” (I named my son “[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]” BEFORE the film “Legends of the Fall” – partly because the names I had grown up loving, [name_m]Jason[/name_m] and [name_m]Justin[/name_m], were so overused by the time my son was born. When he was a baby, many people heard “[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]” and did think it was a girl’s name. However, by the time he got to college, people commented on what cool name he had and no one ever now thinks automatically that it’s a female name. Hopefully, the same will happen for his son [name_f]Marin[/name_f].)
[name_f]Marin[/name_f] is only listed for a girl and not a boy because girl names cannot be unisex, only male names can become unisex. 
You have a good point. There should definitely be a male page for [name_f]Marin[/name_f]!
It’s actually getting more popular in [name_f]France[/name_f]. I know about 3 [name_f]Marin[/name_f] I think. I also know a [name_f]Jasmin[/name_f] (masculine in [name_f]France[/name_f]). I loooove it but it does sound too feminine in english in my opinion (because there is no difference between [name_f]Marin[/name_f] and [name_f]Marine[/name_f] in english) 
For me [name_f]Marine[/name_f] is for a girl, [name_f]Marin[/name_f] for a boy, [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] for a girl, [name_f]Jasmin[/name_f] for a boy, [name_m]Augustine[/name_m] for a girl, [name_m]Augustin[/name_m] for a boy, [name_f]Doriane[/name_f] for a girl, [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] for a boy. All latine names normally have an -e for a girl.
I could give [name_f]Marin[/name_f] if I was living in [name_f]France[/name_f], but I’m not.
Girl names and boy names can technically not be unisex. Only unisex names can be unisex 
And [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] is all masculine (you would never see a girl named [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] in [name_f]France[/name_f], for example). I think it’s sad that Americans do not respect the root of the name 
It was a joke. In many cases, male names become unisex/female names but female names are never listed as being masculine or unisex, especially on this site (see [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Michael[/name_u]).
I understand what you meant! It is true.
I love a name that is listed as feminine only on the site. But the name is masculine in other countries it should be, at least, listed as unisex then.
[name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]Michael[/name_u] should not be listed as unisex in my opinion.
I really like [name_f]Marin[/name_f] for a boy. I know a Romanian man with the name. There should be a masculine entry for it as well.
[name_f]Marin[/name_f] can definitely be used for a boy. There’s a tennis player [name_f]Marin[/name_f] Cilic who recently won the US Open.
