Suggested by a Norwegian friend. I really like it but don't have any Norwegian family or links so don't no if it sounds right.

Marinade?

I've only come across it once before, spelt Marron, and he was a bearded hippy type bloke.

I quite like it.

Its pretty awful IMO. Sorry

Dont know if it is for boy or girl but sound s abit like Marien/ Marian/ Marion

I knew one, she was also scandinavian. It's pronounced Mah-ren as I recall (not Marren).
I think it's lovely but will be mispronounced.

PS if you like that name, you might like Celtic names like Meghan.

I like Merryn and Miriam. Maren sounds quite male.

I like it. Apparently it's a variant of Mary. I also like Miriam, Marina and Marnie.

I know a German family who have a teenage daughter called Maren. Admittedly, when she was born, we couldn't tell from the name whether the baby was a boy or girl!

I really like it.I like scandinavian names in general though.
