Re: The name Malina
Bragging could not be further from my mind. Lets go a little further into the reasoning behind my interest in the name Malina. My daughter will be half Polish and Malina is a female Polish name. She will also be quarter Scottish, and therefore I thought the name Malina would represent this mix. She will also be quarter English, and I know Malina is used in the English speaking world (probably mostly because of its Hewbrew origin). Apart from all this, I quite like the name. So, back to my original question: Does Malina have a Scottish origin?

Thank you very much for your thoughts on this - I really appreciate it :) I think names are important and I am interested in the associations you have with this name. I think you must be Polish to have such associtions? To be honest, I cannot "feel" the name in Polish, so I cannot say if seems strange, silly, nice, pleasant etc. So, from your associations I trust it is OK. I have had a few reservations about this name as I thought it might be strange for a girl to be called "raspberry".
