[Opinions] Re: Marin / Marino / Marinus
in reply to a message by Mercy
I've got no associations with Marin at all - isn't it a place name somewhere in the States? And I've got no Italian connections or even friends where I live, so Marino would be eccentric.Marinus is one of my all-time favourites. It works perfectly in English, has a good Latin pedigree and is one of the better Dutch/Afrikaans names. I like it much better than Marina, though that's also good. I knew a Marina once who was named after her father, Marinus. No nicknames ever for either of them.
