What do you think of that name? Alternatively, do you know of any other names that are somewhat similar? We like names that have a magical/fantasy-like quality to them and yet aren't too "out there" if that makes sense. Thanks!

I just think of Angelina Jolie, it’s her mothers name. Never heard or seen it other than her.

My middle name is Marcelle. I agree that Marceline just makes me think of Adventure Time.

I like Marceline (Marcie).

It also made me think of Angelina Jolie's late mother. But I probably read too much celeb goss. I think it's a pretty name. If you feel it's too much, maybe simply Celine as a shorter version. That's a lovely name too.

It made me think of margarine. Some (well, many) of the other suggestions are much better I think.

Quite frumpy and so is Marcella (which is very much an older lady name in Ireland).

How about:

Willow - same goes for the willow tree.
