I don’t care for it much at all, but I prefer Marina.
A Marine is an honorable profession, but a terrible name for someone.
All I can think of when I hear it is the boat marina, partially because my parents had boats growing up and we were in the marina quite often on weekends... so it’s not namey at all to me.

I did go to school with a very sweet Asian girl named Marina, but she had a quite a strong accent, so I always heard it a bit differently than Muh-ree-nuh, she said it somewhat like Mair-ee-neh, so I don’t quite associate it as much with the actual name Marina, because she was the only person I’ve ever met with the name.
