Is this name too weird????

Question

We want to name our baby girl Mareina (muh-ree-nuh)... We came up with it by putting part of my dads middle name (Mark) with my moms middle name (Louvina) and got it...It means "ocean"...is it too weird? What do you think and what are good middle names, we were thinking Kate or Katherine after my grandmother...any other suggestions...

Answer 1

The name itself is good, but with a different spelling, like Marina or Marena.

Answer 2

Marina is actually one of my favorite names! Finally someone is not naming there daughter Madison! And Marina is my fav spelling. Yeah it does mean a place to dock a boat but how will someone actually tease her about it? It's a great  name, stick with it!!

Answer 3

I think it's pretty, but I'd go for the less confusing spelling, Marina, so people won't pronounce it "muh-RAIN-uh" or

"mar-INE-uh" or "Mary-eena",or something. But it's a beautiful name. I like Marina Kate

Answer 4

I like it.  Mareina Katherine has a nice sound to it.

If you want other suggestions -

Mareina Grace

Mareina Leigh

Mareina Noelle

Answer 5

I think that it sounds really pretty!

Spelled Mareina it might get mis-pronounced a lot though.

Not sure if you'll like this or not, but

How about Mareena?

Mareina Kate would be so cute :]

but Mareina Katherine would be too..

Depends on your last name for which sounds better

I would go with Mareena Kate, but here's other options:

Mareina Lynn

Mareina Louise

Mareina Noelle

Mareina Grace

Good Luck :] !!

Answer 6

I actually don't mind it (and i super fussy when it comes to names). It does remind me of a place to dock your boat but i like that it has reason (dads middle name and moms middle name). If i didn't have a meaning i would think its weired. Loving Kate as a middle name.

Answer 7

Marina reminds me of a place you'd dock a boat, not something you'd name a child.

Answer 8

not to weird at all! it's unique without being strange and far out there. in fact, it's one of my fave names, perfer it spelled Marina though. i know a girl name marina. * oh and dont forget, when she is in preschool/kindergarten, mareina will be harder to spell than marina, and may cause her some confusion.

Mareina Kate sounds good ! definitely a one syllable middle name since Marina has 3!

Mareina Joyce

Mareina Jane

Mareina Jade

Mareina Grace

Mareina Rose

Mareina Rae

Mareina Claire

Answer 9

I think it's beautiful. It has true meaning. I myself have a strange name, and I cherish it! HA HA! I think names like that make you feel more unique! There are also a lot of good nicknames that could come from it! Mari, Na, Ena!

Katherine is a great choice! You could also try Elizabeth or Elle!

Answer 10

I like the idea, but despise the spelling. Marina Katherine sounds very sweet and feminine. I don't understand where the extra 'e' in Mareina comes from. It makes me want to say it mu-RAY-na. So no, it's not weird if you spell it right. I love both Katherine and Kate for a middle name. I would stick with Katherine because I like the repeating sounds in Marina Katherine, but Marina Kate sounds crisper and more modern, and neither is a bad choice. Hope this helps!

Answer 11

Marina is a better way to spell it but it does sound like that boat place

what about Mareena or Marena.

Marina Kate is good don't go for Mareina Katherine becasue that s too much.

Keep searching for names their are heaps of beautiful ones out there

Answer 12

no, but the right way to spell it is Marina. It looks like Mare-ina the way you have it, but its your choice. I like the name, in fact its one of two names we are trying to choose between for a middle name right now.

Answer 13

I think Mareina Katherine is a beautiful name.

Answer 14

Mareina Kate would be really pretty. It's  not to weird at all. 1 of my freinds had a name kinda like that & we always called er  Mar-Mar and she loves her name.

Answer 15

i have a friend named marina...

i kind of like the name holly mareina =]

Answer 16

I think its a beautiful name ! =) Mareina is cute and feminine sounding, but it has a nice flair to it . I think the middle name Kate would be very cute; Katherine would be a bit too long .

Other suggestions for middle names would be Grace, Faith, or Hope.

Hope this helps ! =)

Answer 17

I like it. I think Katherine would go nicely with it

Answer 18

It's a nice name.  I like it, and as a teacher I can tell you, she might get teased, but no more or less than any other child.  Believe me this is the least weird name I think I've seen in a while. :)

Answer 19

I'm actually thinking of using Marina myself if we have a little girl...It is a Russian name and is a derivative of Mary. I love it so much, It's different but not TOO different. I like the spelling you're using as well. It's so funny because the other name we have been talking about is Catherine...so I think Katherine is awesome!!!! You have good taste LOL.

Answer 20

The way you spelled it is looks as if it should be pronounced Mare--ina.  

What about Marina???? same pronunciation different spelling with combination of both names.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 21

Makina is cute too!

Mareina Grace

Marina Janelle

Answer 22

please, apple is a weird name, rumer is a weird name.  your name is awesome.  it sounds peaceful and beautiful.  and will make this baby girl very unique and special.  

I love it!

Im not sure I would put Katherine with it, but I like how it sounds with Kate or even james (i know thats supposed to be a boys name but i thought it sounded pretty)

I want to name my girls Jory Kathleen Lynn, and Bea (bay-yuh) Gabrielle leigh

Answer 23

I would say Mareina Kate

Its unique and it sounds pretty.

Answer 24

I like it. (Although I prefer it spelled Marina).

Marilou could work too, although it may be a bit too "cutesy"

Mareina Kate/Katherine both sound great :)

Answer 25

I think whatever you find is cool to name your baby is great, especially if its out of love for your family. Awesome!

I know my sisters name is Genevieve and that means White wave it would be cool with the "ocean" thing but I don't think it sounds right.

What about Mareina Sabiya - it means "wind". So it could be "ocean wind"

Answer 26

A Marina is a place you'd dock a boat but despite that I actually kinda like it. I know a Nerina which is also nice.

How about spelling it Maryna?

Answer 27

Not my fav, but if you use it you should spell it Marina so people have an easier time pronouncing it

Answer 28

I think it is a very pretty and unique name, but it might hard to pronounce. Good Luck

31 weeks pregnant with Delia May

Answer 29

That name is beautiful. I think you should go with it.

Answer 30

Unfortunately Mareina is also a form of Birth Control called Mirena...

Answer 31

I actually, really like that name!
