[Opinions] Re: Martina

I really like it. I think of Martina McBride, who has an AMAZING voice and the ability to sing both country and rock music really well. (Seriously--I've seen her do covers of Benetar's stuff and she sounded better than Pat.) Since when I hear "Martina" I hear an Irish surname, it doesn't sound too Spanish at all.

There's no need to call her Tina, or Marty, for that matter, if you don't like those nicknames. I'd go with her full name, or Mina if you really felt she needed a nickname.

Some combos:
Iris Martina
Martina Lilian
Martina Penelope
Martina Fleur
Martina Colette / Martina Cosette
Martina Mary
Martina Joy
Martina Lucy
Martina Ruby
Martina Hazel
Martina Lilith
Martina Florence
Martina Bethan
Martina Glory
Martina Wendy
Martina Julie
Martina Violet
Martina Grey
Martina Pearl
Martina Sally
Martina Kirsten

Any of those appeal to you?

Thanks Array! I really like the nn Mina, it's so cute! No, I wouldn't need a nickname, in general I prefer full names over nicknames, but I just worried about a girl with that name being called Tina a lot.

Thanks for the combo suggestions, I really like these:
Iris Martina ~ But I like Martina Iris better.
Martina Joy
Martina Ruby
Martina Florence
Martina Glory
Martina Violet
Martina Pearl
Martina Kirsten ~ really pretty!

Thanks again!
