Marina

What do you think of the name Marina? It shot to the top of my list recently, but a few people have told me that they predominantly associate it with the noun, a dock for boats. So, what I'd like to know is, first, can you escape this association when you hear the name Marina, and second, if you can't, is this a negative association?

Also, what do you think of the combination Marina Isabella? Is it too much of a mouthful?

I like Marina. I do get the boat association but it doesn't bother me. I also get the character from The Fresh Beats Band kids TV show but that's regional.

I think Marina Isabella is fine. It's a little syllableful but it's not like you're going to be saying it frequently anyways.

Wait! I thought I was the only one who got the Fresh Beat Band association, but I was wrong! Lol. I happen to like that show, especially compared to others. But they replaced the original Marina, which angered me. I hate TV show switches :)
