[Opinions] Re: Marina
in reply to a message by ariel19
It's a pretty name, but I have a few problems with it because of a girl I use to know with this name. Actually - before I met the girl, now it always reminds me of her - I didn't think of a dock when I heard this name I always thought of the ocean or sea and it's beautiful green color.

But that's probably because my name is Marisa and Marissa means marine of the sea or color of the sea or something about the sea, maybe just of the sea. I know this says differently but Marisa and Marissa in italian are varients of the name Maris. And Maris has a connection to the name Mary. Maris means "of the sea", taken from the Latin title of the Virgin Mary stella maris, meaning "star of the sea". Also one of Mary's meanings is "sea of bitterness".
Just mentioning this because I thought you might like the name Marissa or maybe Stella Maris or Maris.
