I think Marine is a beautiful name. I'm American, I don't care about Le Pen. Besides, her name has nothing to do with her personality or politics. That being said, I think it would be a lovely name in honor of the U.S. Marines. It could symbolize strength, bravery and patriotism, among other virtues. I like it for both genders, and I appreciate its length and uniqueness (in the U.S.). Overall, I think Marine is a great name.

No one in France will associate this with LePen. It's an extremely common name, it was #1 in 1991. Everyone will know a couple of Marines. It's like Ashley or Kayla in English speaking countries. So you don't have to worry about that if you like the name.

I'm not concerned about the ideological association of le Pen. I don't support her, but don't hate on this name just because someone else has it. Unless it's a name like Adolf or something, don't use that.

I think the name has an interesting sound to it. I would never use it, but I think this could be a refreshing name for those in English speaking nations. As for the negative commentaries below, all I can say is that it matters very little where I am located and political persuasions are meaningless for most people.

Marine is my name, and I love it because it's original and unusual. When I was born, my mother wanted my name to be Gwendoline because it was cute but my father didn't like this name and they were ok with Marine.

This name is also used in Georgia (also as a feminine name), where it is a variant form of Marina. Of the two, Marina is by far the most common in Georgia (not surprising, considering it is the main form). Also, in the case of Georgia, both Marina and Marine derive from Latin 'marinus', so the etymology is ultimately the same.
Finally, in Georgian, Marine is written as: მარინე.
