Ondina
There is a female name, Marina Ondina, in a story I'm reading.
In it says that her name is cloying, but I cannot see why.
So my questions are:
- What does "Ondina" mean or associate with?
- Why do you think her name is cloying?
Thanks in advance.

Hola, Eddy and Spansihspeaker:
Now I can see why her name is cloying. Thank you so much for helping me.
- Marina Ondina is redundant morethan cloying
ondina comes from onda, wich is similar to ola, wave in english, then marina ondina is similar to say sea wave
sorry this is coming in bits and pieces but cloying in spanish is "empalagoso", sickly sweet. there is also a verb "empalagar" to be too sweet.
an english meaning of cloying is "overly sweet"
ondina is a water nymph
