Marion?

[MinecraftWonder]

What do you think?

Classic and pretty or just terribly old fashioned?

Beautiful. I really like it.

I was going to post I prefer Marianne, like lots of people here it seems!

I prefer Merial or Merin.

I really like it. It's simple and pretty

I love Marion! Or Marian as in Maiden Marian.

Prefer

Marianne

Also prefer marianne. Or Miriam .

Instantly think maid Marion then old lady. Sorry. Not a fan.

I like it!

I thought Marion used to be a boy name?

Marian or marianne for a girl...

Marion is on our current shortlist for our growing parasite (which is actually pretty long ). As a girl's name though (sorry John Wayne).

No.

I like Marian but it makes me think of The Go Between. Then I think of the awesome ass-kicking Maid Marian in the 90s CBBC series - she was so cool!

I love Miriam, a friend has just named her DD. My mother in law is a Marianne.

Marion is the male version. It was John Wayne's real name.

For a girl, I think Marian is more usual in English.

In answer to your question though, I say classic and pretty, and puzzlingly underused.

I prefer Marianne. Marion is ok but nms, it's a boy''s name. It's not used any more probably but Istill think 'man's name'.

I love Miriam.

I have not heard it in real life but i like it a lot.

being negative, it could be associated with a person 60+ as i know a few of my mum's friends/acquaintances called that but i really like it and think it would be cute for a baby/little girl.

we liked mariella.
