Marina?
Why of the name Marina?Would it work in honouring my grandmother Maria?What about the combo Marina Victoria? After my grandmother and Dh's grandfather?And one last question. Marina, Lucia, Victoria, Laura, Carolina, or Helena?Thank you. :)

I adore Marina. It's such a gorgeous, underappreciated name. Marina Victoria is a beautiful combo and I do think it could honor a Maria.From favorite to least favorite:
Marina
Lucia as loo-SEE-a
Helena as HEL-en-a
Carolina
Victoria
Laura
Lucia as loo-CHEE-a
Helena as heh-LAY-na
Helena as heh-LEE-na
Lucia as LOO-shaI love the first four, like Victoria all right, and am not a big fan of the rest.

I like Marina! I don't think of boat parking lots when I hear it as a name.
If it works as honoring for you, then it works. I personally would just use Maria if I wanted it to feel honoring to me.
Marina Victoria is nice.
Of that list, I like Marina, Victoria, Carolina and Laura, in that order.

I love Marina. Could definitely honor Maria. Love it with Victoria. Your whole list is pretty but Marina is my favorite.

Marina was one of my favorites as a kid and I recently started liking it again.

It's pretty and I like the sound, but it makes me think of the places boats are kept. I get visions of stagnant water, docks, nets and ropes.

I like Marina. It's uncommon, pretty and has style. I don't love it, but I like seeing it used.I think Marina to honour Maria is a little bit of a stretch (not a big one, but still convoluted). Mariana would work better in my opinion. Marina Victoria is quite striking! My favourite is Lucia (loo-see-ah). Others in order: Helena, Marina, Victoria, Laura, Carolina.
