It just makes me think of Marnie Simpson, unfortunately 🙈

I like Marnie but Marnie May is a bit southern belle

I absolutely love Marnie. Reminds me of the Hitchcock film.

Not so keen on Marnie May, that spoils it a bit

I like it short for marianne but not so much as a standalone name, better to have more options.

Marnie May sounds very peggy sue to me, like she lives in the Deep South, so it's maybe a bit much?

I'm not keen on it at all. It isn't a very nice sound to me and also sounds a littlest nicknamey, (though I think it's a name in its own is it)?

Don't like it. I think it's the Marnie Simpson effect.

Not a fan of Marnie personally, I think it's very "of the moment" and it sounds a bit whingy (mardy).

I like it, but not with May. Love a PP's suggestion of using it as a short form of Marianne. I adore that name.

She would be called Mardy Marnie if you live in Yorkshire.

It's very pretty. I know one and she is gorgeous.

I would go for something classic for the middle name, to avoid the Deep South vibe.

I love Marnie. I've only ever met one and she was lovely.

I don't like Marnie as a standalone name, and definitely not with May alongside it. As a short form for Marina or Marianne or Margaret, etc, it's fine.

I once heard an accent where "money" was pronounced with the "arn" sound in the center. Never really fancied Marnie after that.
