Marnie?

[mamma2boyz]

Husband loves this name...and I quite like it, what do you think of Marnie for a girl?

Thoughts please...

Thanks

Marnie like it although it does make me think of marmite which as a marmite lover isn't a bad thing!!!!

Loved Marnie! It was very top of our list until we made the 'Our Marnie' - Armani connection. I could have wept....

Like it... and absolutely love Marcie which has a similar feel.

Yes, I never see Marjorie mentioned on here. I would have thought it would be catching on now as so many old-fashioned names are coming back, and much less pleasant-sounding ones at that.

Like it

Awful. Sounds totally made up and like a character in a bad American teen flick.

Really like it - there's a great children's book - Marnie was here, When Marnie was here - can't remember exactly.

A sweet name :)

I really love it but can't use it for family reasons, sadly. Do it for me

I teach a Marnie who was named as such precisely so she could be called 'our Marnie'

She will be called: Barney, Biryani, Marine, Marie, Marley etc etc. And will forever have to spell it Oh, and bastards your nearest and dearest will call her 'Marn', which is a sound much like I imagine neanderthal man used to make while pointing excitedly. Or worse, Marns

And I have never worked, let alone in a greasy spoon.

It's awful.

Sarnie, Mardie, etc.

Makes me think of 'When Marnie was there', where I have a feeling that Marnie was a bit of a tragic and perhaps slightly villainous character. Hmm. Now I think I should go and buy it - I seem to recall it was a really good book :)

I think I'd be looking to find something slightly longer and using Marnie as a nn if it might be tricky to live with - perhaps Marina?

I like it, I don't know what the "our Marnie" thing means

my best friend's baby is Marnie. Love it. Like the book 'when Marnie was there'. She gets 'Marbles' as a nickname from her mum.z

If you go with Marnie, please spell it that way. When people spell it Marney, I get a bit murderous. And I've grown to like my name at this point. Never got away with anything at school, though, because it was instantly recognisable. I was 29 before I met another one.

I love it, and if we ever have another girl that will be her name! Congrats Chickens on having fabulous names both in RL and on MN!

If you wanted to make it more formal you could always call her Hermione with nn Marnie. I think it is lovely

makes me think of marmite sarnie :)

Works in a diner. Don't like it, sorry.

Marnie is lovely.

DD is Marnie - we love the name & we get lovely comments about it everywhere. It's not too long, not too weird but a little bit different. When visiting Thailand they did think she was called Money though :)

Apparently in Spanish it means peanut! Not many people know the Kitchcock/Winston Marnie - she was a disturbed character, but doesnt define the name by any means.

I love it and would use it if DH agreed. He won't though, he thinks "mardy Marnie" but that could be a regional thing.c

love it
