Thoughts on the name Marie? Is it due a comeback or is it still dated?

Beautiful

Iwantacookie · 25/06/2019 06:48

It's one of my dd middle names after my nan. I love it.

mathanxiety · 25/06/2019 05:47

Sweet, especially if you use another French name for the middle name.

BoomZahramay · 24/06/2019 21:56

Beautiful and classic.

SallyWD · 24/06/2019 21:53

Beautiful name. I love it.

detangler · 23/06/2019 22:26

Very pretty and classic.

LassOfFyvie · 23/06/2019 22:16

It's fine.

Fifthtimelucky · 23/06/2019 07:21

I prefer Maria too.

I have worked with 3 Maries and they all pronounced it differently.

Quintella · 22/06/2019 23:09

Boring. Maria is better.

Bananalanacake · 21/06/2019 21:21

I was the only Maria in secondary and there was also one Marie.

DottieLottie1 · 21/06/2019 20:55

Are you pronouncing it m-ree or Mar-ree? Prefer the first.

Maria is far nicer...

gingajewel · 21/06/2019 17:54

My middle name is Marie and I pronounce it Mah-ree but have also ears it pronounced marry. I like it!

GrumpyOHara · 19/06/2019 09:20

Don't like it - think it's dated and boring.

daisypond · 19/06/2019 08:11

I like it but there are various pronunciations. I prefer Mary.

Myfoolishboatisleaning · 19/06/2019 05:56

It is hands down the best name ever. It is my nan’s name. 😂 We call her Mimi.

neighbourhoodwitch · 19/06/2019 05:54

Love it!

IHeartArya · 19/06/2019 05:51

Sorry should have clarified- Greek Marie’s in U.K. not in Greece or Cyprus. Also when I said common I mean common as in usual. Really shouldn’t post when I’m tired. Grin

CrumbsCrumbsEverywhere · 19/06/2019 01:14

I believe it means wished for child
And I like the sound. Lovely name

Wallabyone · 19/06/2019 00:54

I've never met a Greek Marie, plenty of Greek Maria's though! I like Marie, but like Mary even more.

AshQ · 19/06/2019 00:29

I love the name Marie!

HeronLanyon · 19/06/2019 00:22

Lots of pronunciations/stress differences for such a short name !
I prefer Maria or Marianne.

Strokethefurrywall · 19/06/2019 00:08

My middle name, I love it.

I think it's classic - also love Maria

IHeartArya · 19/06/2019 00:06

Quite a few Greeks call their dds Marie as opposed to Maria as that’s seen as more common. I like it. I know a LOT of Marie’s. But all Greek.

AlliKaneErikson · 19/06/2019 00:03

There’s a Mari in my daughter’s drama class, but I think it’s pronounced Marry. Dd loves the name as Marie is her favourite Disney character.

Kokeshi123 · 18/06/2019 02:21

It's pretty and unusual.

Have only ever heard "Muh-REE" as the pronunciation.
