Stuck between two girls names

Wanting peoples opinions and thoughts on these two girls names I can’t decide between.

Ita Vogue

Or

Vogue Marlo
I really love both but am unsure of peoples reactions to the name vogue. Is it too out there?

I think everyone will mock the poor child if you name her Vogue. If you do please use it as her middle name so no one ever needs to know unless she wants them too.

PaperdollCartoon · 21/02/2018 22:16

Is that eye-ta or ee-ta? I’ve never heard of it, is it a real name?

I think Vogue only works if you can guarantee your child will grow up to be thin and gorgeous, otherwise it just won’t work.

What about Chat? That is also a magazine!! Grin

mimibunz · 21/02/2018 22:16

Neither unless you live in the celebrity/art world. Those names are truly heinous.

Joke post? Surely?

gonnabreakmyrustycage · 21/02/2018 22:19

How about Etta?

windchimesabotage · 21/02/2018 22:19

I like Marlo! I think thats really pretty

Not sure id use Vogue as a first name however... fun as a second name tho! Then if she really loved it she could use it as her first but if she werent keen on it she never need mention it.

mikeyssister · 21/02/2018 22:20

Ita is a name in Ireland but I only hear grannies using it these days

Heratnumber7 · 21/02/2018 22:20

Marlo?? Hmm

(And Ita and Vogue obvs but everybody else has done a Hmm for them)

That is my concern and the point of all discussions with my husband. it’s a name you sort of have to live up too.

Ita is pronounced I-ta as in Ita Buttrose famous older Australian celebrity/ journalist

Oh

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/02/2018 22:37

I don't like Ita. I find most names with a ta sOund very harsh.

Marlo or even Harlowe Vogue flows much better than Vogue Marlo. Do you not like either of them as a first names.

RubyFlint · 21/02/2018 22:40

Your baby will grow up one day. And want to be taken seriously. There’s a reason you’re questioning yourself. Sorry OP.

MikeUniformMike · 21/02/2018 22:42

Should that be Vogue Marlow? I've heard of Vogue Italia.
How about Grazia Croyden? That little modified spelling makes it yoonique.
Harlo is quite cool, especially if you add a t like in Margot.

llangennith · 21/02/2018 22:43

I usually try to be moderate on MN but honestly my first reaction is ARE YOU NUTS?

BertrandRussell · 21/02/2018 22:46

"The T is silent. As in Harlot"

MikeUniformMike · 21/02/2018 22:52

Vogue Harlot is terrific.

brizzledrizzle · 21/02/2018 22:55

School bullies will love Ita , oh look it's a etc etc

I think that vogue is a fad that will pass.

Heliophilous · 21/02/2018 22:56

How is Marlo a girl's name anyway? All your name choices are a little bit strange. I would think again.

strawberrypenguin · 21/02/2018 22:58

Umm honestly neither I’m afraid. If I absolutely had to then Ita
