I just recently came across the name [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. I love that its unusual but not unheard of… I’ve got 3 questions
To me, [name_f]Marina[/name_f] isn’t thar unusual. I think I have met a couple of Marinas, so I don’t consider it vintage.
Nickname ideas: [name_f]Rina[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Mamie[/name_f], [name_f]Marinka[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u]
Sibling name ideas:
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Jonquil[/name_f]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
Anyone else?
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] is vintage in some places and in some communities. it’s long been common in [name_f]Italy[/name_f], Slavic and Spanish-speaking countries so you may find a large incidence in those communities. I think that in an English speaking setting it can be considered vintage, in the style of [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]… (my assumptions), vintage but not too vintage as it’s very well known but not that used as a first name.
I would go with [name_f]Mina[/name_f] or [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f] work too.
Latin names! God there’s a whole bunch of awesome ones… [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Julian[/name_m] or [name_m]Julius[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_m]Cicero[/name_m] etc. Italian names: [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] or [name_m]Enzo[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]… Other names: [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]… Girl names: [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Aurea[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]… There’s an infinity of names that go with [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. You could go for a same-origin theme, nature theme, anything you feel like.
I wouldn’t consider the name vintage per se, [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is more like an underused gem of a name, neither dated nor antiquated.
To someone who is very well versed in name history, it could be perceived as vintage, however to the general public, it feels more like a rarely used name rather than a vintage one.
The name is very familiar especially to people around my age (teenager/young adults) because of the popularity of the alternative electro-pop singer/songwriter [name_f]Marina[/name_f] Diamandis, who goes by [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and the Diamonds.
Nickname options could be: [name_f]Mari[/name_f] (MAH-ri), [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], Riri, [name_f]Rina[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] would be best paired with something on the eclectic yet subdued side: nothing too “trendy vintage floral” like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Isabel[/name_f].
My thoughts lean towards…
[name_f]Therese[/name_f]/[name_f]Theresa[/name_f]
[name_f]Viveca[/name_f]
[name_f]Nathalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] (the one vintage name that I think sounds lovely with [name_f]Marina[/name_f])
[name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
Let me know if this leans towards your style or not!
