Please help! What do you think of the name [name]Marina[/name]? What would be a good nickname and how would you spell it? Also, what middle names sound good? Our last name is pronoucned Fer-nay.
[name]Marina[/name]…soft-sounding and nautical. It reminds me of [name]Christie[/name] Brinkley’s choice to name her daughter [name]Sailor[/name].
Nicknames…Rini, [name]Rina[/name], [name]Nina[/name], Nini
Middle names…

[name]Marina[/name] is nice. It’s not something I’d use, not because of any bad or negative qualities, but because it doesn’t appeal enough to me to actually use it. I think it’s great you’re considering it, though! Good choice.
I honestly can’t think of any good nicknames. [name]Mara[/name], maybe? I think any nickname might sound too contrived because there doesn’t seem to be any natural nickname for it.

[name]Marina[/name] is pretty…[name]Mari[/name] would be a cute nickname…
[name]Lovely[/name] name.
NN - [name]Mare[/name] - pn mah-reh. [name]Marina[/name] is legit name here where I live, so is nn. And [name]Rina[/name].
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Iris[/name] sound good.
Other suggestions are [name]Marina[/name] [name]Elise[/name], [name]Marina[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Marina[/name] [name]Esme[/name], [name]Marina[/name] [name]Maris[/name], [name]Marina[/name] [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Marina[/name] [name]Mercy[/name].
I think of boat docks, because that’s what a marina is. There are a lot of them around me, so it’s hard for me to think of it as a name.
I give [name]Marina[/name] two big thumbs up! I love it, it’s very cute and suits an adult too. As for nicknames I like [name]Mari[/name] and [name]Nina[/name] the best.
Here are a few names to go with it:
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Giselle[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Faye[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Ada[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Hollis[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Willa[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Amy[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Love[/name] [name]Marina[/name]. It is so pretty and under used! I know most people are sick of rose as a middle name but I just love the sound of [name]Marina[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! [name]Marina[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is beautiful too.
Agreed, love [name]Marina[/name]. The boat docks association is a non-issue for me. I mean, have you ever been to a [name]Marina[/name] at sunset? So beautiful. [name]Marny[/name] or [name]Marnie[/name] is a good nn, too.
[name]Just[/name] in case you have never heard of it, the world of NickJr airs a show called The Fresh [name]Beat[/name] Band. [name]Marina[/name] is the name of the red-headed drummer who always wears a teal dress. That being said, I think any little girl would be happy to have that association to her name because it is actually quite a cute show (the other female character in pink is named [name]Kiki[/name] and the boys are Shout and Twist). [name]Just[/name] prepare yourself for the obvious Halloween costume requests haha. That being said I think [name]Marina[/name] is a very pretty name, it reminds me of a mermaid and nn [name]Mary[/name]/[name]Nina[/name] are super cute! =]
[name]Marina[/name] reminds me of the ocean and its beauty, not a bad connection. I like it, with the nickname [name]Mari[/name] (mar-ee). However, [name]Marina[/name] doesn’t even need a nickname. I’d spell it this way- classic and elegant.
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Michelle[/name] (Brings in the nickname M and M)
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Julie[/name] (Brings in the nickname MJ)
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Jillian[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Natasha[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Courtney[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Jaylee[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Jamie[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Esperanza[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Lola[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Zola[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
I think [name]Marina[/name] is wonderful. It’s a very direct image, yet it has a feeling of mystery too. It’s classic and [name]Mary[/name]-like enough to be totally respectable, yet has that cool watery thing that makes it refreshing.
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Ondine[/name] ([name]Ondine[/name] coming from same root as undulate - as in ocean waves)
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Seren[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] Serephine
[name]Marina[/name] Salomé
[name]Marina[/name] Garance
[name]Marina[/name] Rêve
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Luna[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] [name]Indigo[/name]
[name]Marina[/name] does have nautical associations, but it’s a name that’s been in use for >2000 years. I think of saints, [name]Princess[/name] [name]Marina[/name] of Greece, the Duchess of [name]Kent[/name], and a laid-back, elegant kind of beauty.
[name]Mari[/name] & [name]Mimi[/name] seem like obvious nicknames.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Marina[/name] and I really don’t think the nautical association hinders the name at all. [name]Rina[/name] or [name]Ria[/name] could work as nicknames if you want to be more adventurous than [name]Mari[/name] or [name]Mimi[/name].
[name]Love[/name] [name]Marina[/name], especially for its nautical associations. It has a soft, sweet sound, but with just enough spunk. I like [name]Rin[/name] or [name]Rina[/name] for nicknames.
This was the name I would have used if my son had been a girl. It’s a standard in Greece and [name]Russia[/name], and not uncommon in [name]Italy[/name] and the UK (where there is a large Greek population). I kind of assumed that people would shorten it to [name]Rina[/name].
I had planned on a one-syllable middle name, but I think your last name will dictate that.
I love [name]Marina[/name]! I tried to get my husband to agree to [name]Marine[/name] for our daughter, but he wouldn’t go for it.
We have a woman named [name]Marina[/name] on our street, and she goes by [name]Mari[/name] (mah-ri).
Beautiful choice.
I have a cousin [name]Marina[/name] who is nearing 40 years old, I [name]DO[/name] think of boats and water, but I don’t find it unpleasant. I think makes a nice name, uncommon, nice nickname options.
I love this name, especially with [name]Mina[/name] as a nickname
I like the name [name]Marina[/name] and I like [name]Mari[/name], [name]Nina[/name], [name]Ina[/name], and [name]Mina[/name]. [name]Rina[/name] is OK too I just like it less. I think [name]Mae[/name] would make enough sense too.
With your 2-syllable last name I might go for 3-1-2 rhythm and I think [name]Marina[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Marina[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] are quite nice but there are plenty of other options.
