Thoughts on Marceline? Is the NN Marcie too granny?

I'm not mad on Marceline, to be honest. It reminds me of margarine and marzipan. Sorry.

I don't mind Marcie though, it's much nicer than many of the granny chic names around.

I prefer Marcia to Marceline.
I know one Marcia which is her full name rather than shortened version

Marceline the vampire from Adventure Time.

I like it.

I'd say yes if Marcie is going to be used 99% of the time.
I don't like the 'leen' sound in Marceline.

Marceline in Adventure Time is AWESOME.

I would definitely use it.

I love Marcie but I prefer Marcella (anglicised) to Marceline.

Is it pronounced leen or lin? I like Marcie as a nn.

I immediately thought of Adventure Time as well, she's a great character Grin
Marcie is a good short version too.

It's ok but I really like Marcie as NN

Sounds like an ointment or some medicinal product to me. Really not liking it.
Marcel/Marcie are nice nicknames for it.

Does make me think of Vaseline... if it's pronounced like that? I do think 'Marci/Marcy' is cute though for nickname x

Makes me think of adventure time, and that isn't a bad thing!

Marceline is unusual, for the UK/English speaking world. I do not dislike it, or Marcie, but I think I prefer Marcella or Marsaili (mahr shu lee < difficult to quite replicate as it would be a palatal r not rolled, and the shu almost shaw but not quite).
