Marilla?

As a child I loved the Anne of Green Gables series, and I'm toying with Marilla as a name, its roman which would work well with my ds as he has a Latin/Romanesque name. Thought it could be shortened to Mari or Rilla. Does it work as a name?

I though maybe paired with something more 'classic'
Like Marilla Elizabeth or
Amy Marilla

I love Anne of Green Gables too! Her youngest daughter is a known as Rilla. Beautiful name and Marilla Elizabeth is a lovely combination.

It sounds a mishmash of other things tbh.

And like Marillion.
