I’m unsure if we’re having a boy or girl, but have had the name Marianne stuck in my head for weeks now. My husband is on board (he’s a huge Leonard Cohen fan) and I think I love it. Please share your opinions on it!

Also love it - Leonard Cohen and sisters of mercy fan. But ended up having days!

Gorgeous!

Although it does remind of the book "Marianne Dreams" which I found quite creepy. Not enough to put me off it though!

I think it’s lovely, and currently calls to mind images of the character Marianne on Normal People on Netflix, who is very beautiful.

parttimemary · 26/10/2021 23:09

I love it

TrollsAreSaddos · 26/10/2021 23:07

I LOVE that name.

Bashfulinseduary · 26/10/2021 23:06

I think it's a lovely name. I slightly prefer Mary-Ann, but I know some aren't keen on hyphens.

Now so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Love it! Also big Cohen fan.

I think it's a gorgeous name, one of my favourites.
