It's no secret at BTN that I love Marina. Perhaps in America people might think marinas were named first and then the name followed, but the reverse is true. In Europe, the name has been used since the 12th century (I read that online). It means "of the sea" so you can see that marinas are aptly named. ;-) It's the name of royalty, it's gorgeous, it has an old-world feel and it's not too common.
Re: sibs, I'd say anything classic with a Latin or Greek origin would do nicely: Adriana, Eliana, Sophia, Anastasia, Delia, etc. You get the idea -- something feminine and flowing.

I love Marina! I, like Kris Rose, think of a dock where people keep there boats in a small seaside town; maybe in Nantucket or Cape Cod? I, however, LOVE this connotation and don't think it's too "word-name"ish.
I also love Marine:)
As for sisters, The Baby Wizard lists these for possible sister combos:
Camille
Tatiana
Juliet
Elena
Miranda
(My favorite is Marina and Juliet or Camilla (not Camille)).

I think of a place when I hear this, whether it be the city (yes, an actual city), or a dock/basin where people keep their boats.
The sound is nice though, and it brings pleasant feelings to me (I love the ocean). However, it still has that "word-name" feel that I just dont like.

I'd use it if it wasn't a place where boats are kept (and there's plenty of marinas around here... :P)

I always make the dock/basin connection too.
