Marnie or Marni?

Asking for a friend. Unfortunately it isn't me. She's just had a baby and they're set on calling her Marnie or Marni but can't decide which spelling. Which do people prefer?

TIA

Marnie.
Always reminds me of a marmite sarnie lol, but each to their own.

I only know two Marnies and both are spelt like that.

Definitely with the "E" - otherwise it doesn't look right/finished

Marnie.
Marni is a wildly overpriced designer clothing brand, (although that may not be an issue?)

It's also a Hitchcock film

Marnie. As a poster says, Marni looks unfinished

With the E

Marnie

Marnie will be the default spelling, so in my mind it’s probably easier to go for that assuming they would pronounce them the same?
