If you know or have a Marianne...

[eryan]

...does she constantly get called Marion or Mary Anne?

I know a Mariella who is called Mariella... [almost-but-not-quite-helpful-face]

i do know someone called Marianne and she is indeed constantly called Marion.

Know one, pronounced correctly afaik.

Know one, pronounced Marry Ann

Yes, she gets called Mary Anne.

Know one- pronounced as in the Leonard Cohen song- Marry Anne

Know one (35ish), prounced MarryAnne. I think it's a lovely name.

Know one, pronounced Marry Anne. But she gets called Maz for short.

Marry anne

I know one pronounced Marry-Ann. She often gets called Marion, which irks her. But friends call her Maz. I love the name Marianne. Was on my list for dd. But thought two in one family was a bit weird.

Don't know any, but love the name. On my list for any further DDs.

Know an elderly one, always called Marianne, to my knowledge.

I wanted one. Am having a boy.

My niece in Marianne and I don't think she's ever called anything else, except "oh,MariAAAAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!" in exasperated tones by her big sister (she is a serious wind-up merchant!)

I know one who goes by Maz, because her dad (dad, for heaven's sake!) kept calling her Marion. Everyone else seemed to get it right though - marry-ann.

Thank you. I think it is a very pretty name, and works in both English and French which is one of our criteria. Just worried about it being pronounced incorrectly.

My niece is Marianne - never heard her being called anything else! Except a few friends call her Macs.

dont know of one but my dd is Merryn and people on seeing her name written down sometimes say miriam, or marion or marianne!!! {rolls eyes}

i think marianne is a lovely name, and most people would pronounce it correctly, one would hope!

Marry-ann

Marryanna is lovely as well

The one I know is always called Marianne.

My daughter is named Marianne and it is almost always pronounced correctly. She has been called Mary-Anne once or twice but the culprits were very nice and eventually cottoned onto their mistake without us pointing it out directly and were v apologetic. They now call her Marianne without fail. Lots of Eastern Europeans seem to like to call her Marianna, for some reason- maybe that's a more common version of the name in their homelands? No one calls her Marion so far. I suspect she will be Maz to mates as a teenager, probably. My boys and their friends seem to get their names truncated to the shortest versions possible! Anyway, I really, really love the name and recommend it.:)

I went to school with one and everyone pronounced it correctly, never seemed to cause any problem.

DD's friend's little sister (4 year old) is Marianne, and always gets Marianne. I don't think it is ever wrongly pronounced. And, she is the cutest little thing

The Marianne I know is frequently called Marion by strangers but she corrects them politely and they get it right the next time.
