Absolutely love it.

Pinkjenny · 27/04/2011 12:39

Very sweet.

Love it. I had a friend called Marnie at primary school over 30 years ago. Her Dad was American and she'd spent time over there and she seemed so exciting to the 9 year old me.

Sorry for the slight hijack but go for it!

I know a boy called Marnie

I had an aunt known as Marnie, her full name was Marjorie which is a lovely name probably due for a comeback.

Hedwig3 · 27/04/2011 13:49

Really really lovely!

whizzyrocket · 27/04/2011 15:45

Sounds american to me.

Eglu · 27/04/2011 15:49

I really like it. I met a girl called Marnie a couple of years ago and thought what a lovely name it was.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 27/04/2011 15:50

It sounds as though it is short for something or an N crept into Marie.
Not one I would consider.

sharbie · 27/04/2011 15:51

i like it very much.its cool.

GooseyLoosey · 27/04/2011 15:52

Reminds me of the Alfred Hitchcock film and Winston Graham book. Marnie was not a particularly happy character. Also find it a bit 1960s American.

LadyWellian · 27/04/2011 15:52

I know a Marnie. She is nice and I think it's a pretty name without being too selfconsciously 'unusual'.

mathanxiety · 27/04/2011 15:58

Sounds like the name of a down at heel waitress in a greasy spoon, circa 1932.

mrsdaz · 27/04/2011 16:32

lol @ our marnie :0)

Tuschinski · 27/04/2011 16:35

It's my friend's dog's name, after the film, but I still like it.

BuntyPenfold · 27/04/2011 20:28

Love it and I know a charming 12 year old called this.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 27/04/2011 20:30

I love it. My DDs nursery nurse has just called her new baby Marnie.

HooverTheHamaBeads · 27/04/2011 20:35

Like it. Also like Mardie who is an old family friend.

midnightexpress · 27/04/2011 20:40

I know a lovely 12 year old Marnie too . It's a very pretty name and unusual without being pretentious. I don't think most people would make the association with the Hitchcock film.

midnightexpress · 27/04/2011 20:40

Mardie wouldn't be good if you live in the north though!

randomimposter · 27/04/2011 20:40

like it
know a very spirited nearly 3 year old...

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 27/04/2011 20:42

Love it! One of my faves.
