How are you pronouncing it OP?

I read it as Mariana, which is quite nice. Marlana is not nice at all, I just think of Marlene from only fools too.

I love Marlena! Such a pretty name.

I like Marlena - there's a great Suzanne vega song called Marlena on the wall. It's classic, and pretty. It would be on my list for a dd!

Marielle is nicer.

Medibeagle · 17/08/2014 19:40

I like it. Is it the same name as Suzanne Vega's Marlene on the Wall?

Makes me think of Marlaaaaaane from only fools and horses. . . Make of that what you will! :)

I like it - very classic, as in Dietrich.

fairyteepee · 17/08/2014 19:35

yes it is pronounced that way, oh i didn't realise Marlena is a nicer spelling. What do you think to the name?

No sorry. Don't love it

Shallan · 17/08/2014 19:32

How is it pronounced? Is it mar-lay-na? If so the usual spelling is Marlena I think.
