I adore Marina. It's such a gorgeous, underappreciated name. Marina Victoria is a beautiful combo and I do think it could honor a Maria.

I love the first four, like Victoria all right, and am not a big fan of the rest.

I like Marina! I don't think of boat parking lots when I hear it as a name.
If it works as honoring for you, then it works. I personally would just use Maria if I wanted it to feel honoring to me.
Marina Victoria is nice.
Of that list, I like Marina, Victoria, Carolina and Laura, in that order.

I love Marina. Could definitely honor Maria. Love it with Victoria. Your whole list is pretty but Marina is my favorite.

Marina was one of my favorites as a kid and I recently started liking it again.

It's pretty and I like the sound, but it makes me think of the places boats are kept. I get visions of stagnant water, docks, nets and ropes.

I like Marina. It's uncommon, pretty and has style. I don't love it, but I like seeing it used.

I think Marina to honour Maria is a little bit of a stretch (not a big one, but still convoluted). Mariana would work better in my opinion.

Marina Victoria is quite striking!

My favourite is Lucia (loo-see-ah). Others in order: Helena, Marina, Victoria, Laura, Carolina.
