HelpCheymarina
Lately liking this. It is Mordvin and means cranberry according to the site. Not sure how to pronounce it, but I would say Shae-muh-ree-na, and I would never use it, but do you like it?

My first instinct is to read it like "Chey Marina", which reminds me of "Che Guevara". It's not terrible, but no, I don't really like it.

It sounds a bit clunky, I can’t help but read it as “Chey Marina”.

It looks pretty, and I like the meaning. But it sounds like a brand of furniture.

at the risk of sounding dumb ...
What language is Mordvin?
If it's pronounced Shay-Marina, it sounds like some trendy seafood restaurant. Chez Marina. Near the marina. Fresh catch every day. I really like Marina on its own and feel no need to fancy it up.

Have you not heard of Google? You come across as stupid all the time. Using Google might prevent that.

A indigenous Russian language and somehow a type of Uralic language, you are not dumb and I literally just googled it.

I would say it like you. "Shame-arena." I *would* sorta like it, if only it didn't come out sounding like those words.
Or, I guess, I'd like it if only I wasn't an English speaker, and didn't care about what English words it sounded like.
In general I don't go for shay-names at all, but I do like Marina, and the way the first four letters look.
What if it's pronounced tchay-MAR-in-a instead? I still like it, but it would sound more "foreign" to me.
I dunno, is the name even a real usage? There's only one search result, and it doesn't refer to any actual bearer.

It sounds like an elaboration on Marina, a name I've never liked, so it's a no from me.
