              "of the sea"
            • Description:

              Marino is an Italian first and surname with distinct crossover possibilities, having pleasant seaside undertones, and is far more unusual in the U.S. than sister Marina.

              "warlike"
            • Description:

              Many may associate Mario with the popular platform game - unsurprising when it's the 5th best-selling video game worldwide, and was voted the 2nd best game ever by IGN in 2024. The titular plumber was apparently named after American businessman, Mario Segale, who rented a warehouse to Nintendo, and this in itself reflects that Mario is much more established than just a name for a video game character.

            • MATEE
              • Maverick
                • Origin:

                  American

                  "independent, nonconformist"
                • Description:

                  It's ironic that the name Maverick is not such a maverick anymore. Heard first in a 1950s James Garner western TV series, and then as the Tom Cruise character in Top Gun, Maverick symbolizes an unfettered, free spirit.

                        It's a car brand, a planet, and the messenger of the gods -- but it's questionable whether it works as a little girl's name.
