Marin

I don't know why but I've always loved this name so so much. There was a girl 6 or 7 years older than me in school named Marin and I've loved it ever since. She pronounced it MARE-in. Which is how I say it and how I like the pronunciation best. It's quite friendly and chill.

I don't care what a name is for outside of the US. I live in the States, and I shouldn't have to worry about what my name is for places I won't even go. People who do that are self conscious nerds. My name is Marin and I am a GIRL. Marin is more popular for a girl in the states, with about 81% being girls. Don't tell me that I shouldn't be named Marin just because in some foreign place there's boys named Marin. My dad's name is MARc and my mom's name is kristIN M A R I N. My name is special, and I don't care how anyone else feels. Also, my name is pronounced, MARE - IN. Not MAAR - IN or Mare - EN.

Such a beautiful name for a BOY. I personally don't like how modern people use masculine names for girls and they've made it normal. I think Marin is definitely for a male and feminine form would be Marina. I would love the name Marin for a guy most definitely.

My name is Marin and I am a girl. I pronounce it like Mar-in. A lot of times people say it like Mare-in. I am just saying that Marin can definitely be a girl's name!

I've never heard of a guy called Marin ever before - it's strictly feminine in my book. I pronounce it Mar - in. Mar as in Maria. In fact, I always assumed because of the mar it was related to the name Maria. I prefer Marisol or Maria but, this is nicer than Marina or Marine which sound too... aquatic, I guess.

I love that the name Marin is more a masculine name just for boys, and girls can be named Marina instead and the name sounds really handsome but not beautiful.

This is my mom's name, but pronounced Mar-in. Everybody calls her Mare-in, which she hates, but she still loves her name, and I think it's really pretty.

I personally feel like Marin can suit both boys and girls. It’s unisex and it also sounds close to Marie, which means it works well for a girl, but it can still work for a boy too! I would probably use this name for a boy. However, Marine and Marina are both strictly feminine in my book.

I'm a girl, my name is Marin and I don't mind it. It's pronounced (MUR-in) and gets mispronounced a lot. But it's unique and I think that it could be used for a boy too.

Marin is beautiful. Not solely for boys. It is a delicate sound, lovely but still strong, I love it.

I'm from Albania and my name is Marin. There was an Albanian historian from 1400s named Marin Barleti. Definitely a guy's name. I know Marin Hinkle from Two and Half Men is a she, but in Europe there is Marina for girls and Marin for boys. In Italy there is Marino Marini, a singer who sang about a girl named Marina. Again pretty straight forward, Marin = boy. Marin County in California is a very affluent county...

The name Marin was given to 203 baby girls born in the US in 2012.

I know a guy whose last name is Marin. He's Hispanic so it's pronounced MAR-in, although its often mispronounced as MARE-in.

I think Marin is a name for a girl. It's more sweet then masculine.

I normally don't like when boys names are used for girls, but I would probably name a future daughter Marin Rose. I know it's a male name in Romania and other parts of Europe, but I don't think Marin is too masculine to be used as a girls name in the US.

I love this name for a boy and it'll be my son's name. I can't believe how somebody can use this beautiful boys' name for a girl.

But no matter what, Marin is a MALE name, not a FEMALE name!

I love this name! However, I've seen it on the female side of the top 1000! What the hell? It's a Romanian male name. The proper feminine form is Marina. ALthough most parents probably don't care and are using this as a kreatyv spyllyng of Maren. Be careful when using names like these. If your daughter is named Marin and she goes to Romania, she'll get laughed at! Please save the embarrassment and pick something else.

Marin is a beautiful name for a girl. I like the spelling Maryn the best. The one girl I know named Maren pronounces it mare-in.

My cousin's name is Maryn and she is a girl. Her mom spelled it this way to be unique. I always thought of Maryn as a girl name and I am surprised the spelling Marin is a boy name. I know another girl named Marin who spells it just like that.
