What about [name_f]Mileva[/name_f] [name_u]Ariel[/name_u]? I like [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f].

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] could be [name_f]Ria[/name_f] , [name_f]Rina[/name_f] , [name_f]Mari[/name_f] , [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or [name_u]Ari[/name_u].

I like either [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] or [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. Both look and sound equally beautiful! I’m not a fan of [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] - in my opinion, the double ll’s in both names are kind of a tongue twister. For nicknames for [name_f]Marina[/name_f], I could see [name_f]Nina[/name_f] working…that would be adorable!

Best of luck!:slight_smile:

[name_f]Nina[/name_f] is cute. You wouldn’t hear the second “ll” in [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] because of its pronunciation, but written down it does look a little funky. Thanks for the input! I appreciate it.

I don’t think [name_f]Mileva[/name_f] is on the table for us, but I love the nicknames for [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. Thank you!

I love [name_f]Mari[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f] for [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. Also [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], [name_f]Marni[/name_f]. [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is my favourite of your names.

[name_f]Mari[/name_f] is adorable. I’m glad you like [name_f]Marina[/name_f]! It’s currently leading in the poll, but I am so stuck on [name_f]Ariella[/name_f]. Thanks for the suggestion!

[name_f]Ariella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] really sparkles for me! So beautiful and rhythmic. [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] are absolutely stunning nn options, too!

My second choice would be [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f]… and I would love to suggest [name_f]Mara[/name_f] as a nn. Good luck :slight_smile:

My personal favorite is [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. [name_f]Mara[/name_f] is nice, my parents would like that a lot. Thank you for your help!

I love both [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f], but I voted [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] is a gorgeous middle name! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the combined meaning of “from the sea” and “star” :). Reminds me of a ship sailing toward the [name_u]North[/name_u] star on a starry night.

I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] and like [name_f]Mara[/name_f], rini, and [name_f]Mari[/name_f] for nn

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] for me. I just love the sea and starry sky imagery. :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] just because I think it flows the best, but [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Estrella[/name_f], and [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] are all beautiful names.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering if she has any given name for us to consider incorporating as well?

Thank you for your vote! I love the meaning as well!

Another one for the imagery. I love it!

If you’re meaning a given first name, no. She has not been born yet, but we’re counting down the days. :smiley:

The flow does sound better in [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f], now that I’ve noticed. Why am I still so stuck between the two!!?? :confused:

Very cute nicknames for [name_f]Marina[/name_f], guys. Thank you!

My partner and I have now put [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] on the back burner. Now it’s just him against me: I’m on team [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and he’s rooting for [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f]. We’ll see what unfolds soon!

Please keep the suggestions coming :slight_smile:

Another nickname option for [name_f]Marina[/name_f] [name_f]Estrella[/name_f] is M.E. pronounced [name_f]Emmie[/name_f].
