Hi
What do you think about the name Marina? Is this name still given?

It's first name of Welsh pop singer Marina Diamandis (Marina and The Diamonds

One of the prettiest female names imo. I don’t associate it with Marina and the diamonds. I think it sounds a bit old fashioned, I guess because I knew a Maurina, but it’s so gorgeous to me.

I once knew someone named Marina. She was born in the 80s, so I guess it's given as a name sometimes at least.

This name is beautiful but has always left me feeling cold. There's something so impersonal about it, I suppose because it's a word. But I don't always get that impersonal feeling from word names, so I don't know why this one gives me the chills. I like it but I don't really enjoy it. I'm adding this to my Uncanny Valley names list.

Yeah, I also find Marina cold. I want to like it, I like plenty of word names and I like boats, but not Marina as a name. Weird.

I like it; and I don't mind the yachting association at all. It's been used in South Africa by Afrikaans speakers, as has Marinus, which I prefer.

I've allllways liked this name. I really like the ocean reference, since I love to sail and go diving :)

I love it, there are two in my school. It’s a fresh alternative to Maria, and the meaning is beautiful.
