What do you think of Marie as a first name?

Am due soon and still undecided. I think Marie (pronounced the French way) is so sweet, clam, classy and feminine and I like that it doesn't end with an 'a'.
Can't think why it's not used more. Is it just seen as very plain?
One thing that might bother me later on is that there are so many variations, Mary, Marion, Mariska, Mariella etc and all the double names, and of course it's used often as a middle name.
Anybody on here perhaps called Marie? What are your expreriences?

Thanks for your opinions.

I think it's beautiful very unheard of now in children. It makes me think of Marie the cute white kitten the Aristocats
