My niece in Marianne and I don't think she's ever called anything else, except "oh,MariAAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!" in exasperated tones by her big sister (she is a serious wind-up merchant!)

I wanted one. Am having a boy.

Know an elderly one, always called Marianne, to my knowledge.

Don't know any, but love the name. On my list for any further DDs.

I know one pronounced Marry-Ann. She often gets called Marion, which irks her. But friends call her Maz. I love the name Marianne. Was on my list for dd. But thought two in one family was a bit weird.

Marry anne
