I have a friend with the name Marijana. She goes by Mana. I think her name is very pretty and her nickname is adorable. :)

Indeed. :(

You're joking right?
You must be joking... otherwise I'll name my child Ecstasy..

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'm completely serious. I believe she was born in Turkey.

I made a post a couple months ago about knowing a girl named Marijana and suggesting it wasn't such a smart name where I live, and I got tons of comments by angry LJUsers.

I like the sound, and I'm aware the spelling is because it's Croatian, but I just can't get past it.

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way. I like the name but I just won't use it.

I like the name. It's just one letter away from being many high school boys' second favorite pastime, however. =\

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

I know! :( I would use the name if I didn't think I would catch tons of crap for it.

lol @ second favorite
and agreed

[unbakedbrownie.livejournal.com]

Agreed. It makes me *emotear*. :(

i mean, maybe its just because im stoned but it reminds me too much of marijuana.
mana is cute though. but i'd probably go by mara

Honestly I first saw "Mahr-ee-ahna" and then Marijuana was my 2nd thought.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that I have to agree with the Marijuana comments, but apart from that, it's cute. And so is Mana.

[kyo-o.livejournal.com]

I really like Mana as a nickname! However, the first thing I think of is this guy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mana_(musician))

I like it. I also like marijuana as a name too though. So.. lol. I wouldn't use it though, but I would use Mary Jane.
