Marion?

[MinecraftWonder]

What do you think?

Classic and pretty or just terribly old fashioned?

[tethersend]

Love it. Was my second choice for DD2.

[Vixxfacee]

Really horrible.

[MaliaGrace]

Really don't like it.

[anothernumberone]

Nope sorry.

[HumpheadWrasse]

Love it.

[RiaOverTheRainbow]

I like it a lot.

[Backforthis]

I prefer Marianne.

[PacificDogwod]

I love it

[DramaAlpaca]

I also prefer Marianne, and I like the spelling Marian better than Marion.

[Lunastarfish]

I prefer Marianne. Marion imo is old fashioned but given Sylvia and Daphne receive positive comments on Mn I expect on balance the comments you receive here will be positive

[vestandknickers]

Please don't!

[NadiaWadia]

Nothing wrong with it. Not fashionable at the moment, but who cares. It could be quite chic at the moment I suppose, due to French film star, Marion Cotillard.

Have to say I think I prefer Marian though. And Marianne is gorgeous of course.

[BettyBi0]

I think it would get misspelled all the time

[BathtimeFunkster]

Love it.

Gorgeous name.

Happily not fashionable, but I think it will be within a few years.

[SmugairleRoin]

Pretty - a bit old fashioned but then, old fashioned names are in.
Maren/Marin is quite similar?

I do prefer Marian though.

[mydogeatsnutstoo]

Awful - Marianne is lovely though!

[ashesandfire]

It's my MILs name so I've sometimes thought it might end up as mn for a future dd.
I think if that were the case I'd insist on altering it to Marianne though, which I just think is so pretty and more modern then Marion, which sounds a little harsh/abrupt IMO. I think Marian is nicer too.

[elQuintoConyo]

Love it.

Hate Marian/Marianne.

Marion Cunningham was in Happy Days

[Hadron21]

I like it but it's a new Thomas the Tank Engine character.

[Wearyheadedlady]

I like it. My best friend's mum was called it, but then so is one of SJP's twins.

[RockinHippy]

I read your title as Marlon for a boy - I was going to say - love it!

But Marion, - no, hideous - sorry

Heads off to spec savers

[DandyDan]

Lovely lovely name, spelled Marion or Marian.

Marianne has the emphasis on the "-anne" bit, rather than the "Ma-", and feels a different name.

[chootalkinboutWillis]

Lovely

[mrsschu]

It's very grumpy... Quite like Marianne though!

[mrsschu]

Sigh, it's frumpy not grumpy. Time for bed...
