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 agree, they are pronounced entirely different. I think you're safe from this particular association for the most part. The boat dock is probably your biggest adversary, and it's not even a negative association.
