What are your thoughts on Marianne...

[KatyAnn28]

...?

Gorgeous name. Apparently my parents considered if for me, but in the end they chose s much more popular 1970s girl's name. Always been a bit that they didn't go with Marianne.

Just realised I sound a bit of a div describing my daughter's name as 'edgy'....best word I could think of. Anyway, use it, it's gorgeous!

Really like it, Marian is a bit old fashioned but maybe due for a resurgence,but Marianne is lovely.

Love it. Prefer Marianne with the "a" sound at the end though in the continental way to the "ann" ending that the UK tends to give it.

love it, love it, love it. I'm too old for more dds so you can use it instead of me!

A very feminine, pretty name.

Its a pretty classic name

I love this name, it is really pretty. It is perfect

Told you it was a Mumsnet fave!

This was on my girl list but I'm having another boy.

I was going to use Manon for short.

I absolutely love it.

If we ever had a fourth, we'd consider it for a girl, even though it's similar to DD's middle name.

I am the only person on the thread who dislikes it!

On that basis OP, go for it!

agree with everybody - Marianne is gorgeous.

Twee and precious. Sorry.
