Love it. I had a friend called Marnie at primary school over 30 years ago. Her Dad was American and she'd spent time over there and she seemed so exciting to the 9 year old me.

Sorry for the slight hijack but go for it!

I had an aunt known as Marnie, her full name was Marjorie which is a lovely name probably due for a comeback.

I really like it. I met a girl called Marnie a couple of years ago and thought what a lovely name it was.

It sounds as though it is short for something or an N crept into Marie.
Not one I would consider.

Reminds me of the Alfred Hitchcock film and Winston Graham book. Marnie was not a particularly happy character. Also find it a bit 1960s American.

I know a Marnie. She is nice and I think it's a pretty name without being too selfconsciously 'unusual'.

Sounds like the name of a down at heel waitress in a greasy spoon, circa 1932.

It's my friend's dog's name, after the film, but I still like it.

I know a lovely 12 year old Marnie too . It's a very pretty name and unusual without being pretentious. I don't think most people would make the association with the Hitchcock film.

Mardie wouldn't be good if you live in the north though!
