Thoughts on the name Marie? Is it due a comeback or is it still dated?

I absolutely love this name! Classic, chic, feminine...gorgeous! I’d use it!

RuthW · 17/06/2019 16:18

I've never liked it but I like Maria

BlueMerchant · 17/06/2019 16:24

Marie is dated. I prefer Maria but I wouldn't use it personally.

Antonin · 17/06/2019 16:53

Not trendy but classic and she won’t be the 6th in the class called that. You could use a more popular second name. Marie goes well with most other names

Whoops75 · 17/06/2019 17:00

Maria is much nicer

Owlbert · 17/06/2019 17:06

I like Marie and Maria

scratchbass · 17/06/2019 17:19

Lovely name, I prefer the 'marry' pronunciation rather than 'mar-ee'.

Walkamileinmyshoesbeforeujudge · 17/06/2019 17:22

Prefer Mari

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/06/2019 18:43

Gorgeous. It makes me think of Marie the adorable little kitten from the AristocatsGrin

Howtotrainyourhamster · 17/06/2019 20:07

Feels very dated and there will be potential pronounciation issues. Mairi is nicer, or Mary.

DramaAlpaca · 17/06/2019 20:09

It's very dated. I like Mary or Maria better.

samandpoppysmummy · 17/06/2019 20:23

My name is Maria and I've always liked it :)

Sophronia · 17/06/2019 23:24

Lovely, pretty and chic.

Kokeshi123 · 18/06/2019 02:21

It's pretty and unusual.

Have only ever heard "Muh-REE" as the pronunciation.

AlliKaneErikson · 19/06/2019 00:03

There’s a Mari in my daughter’s drama class, but I think it’s pronounced Marry. Dd loves the name as Marie is her favourite Disney character.

IHeartArya · 19/06/2019 00:06

Quite a few Greeks call their dds Marie as opposed to Maria as that’s seen as more common. I like it. I know a LOT of Marie’s. But all Greek.

Strokethefurrywall · 19/06/2019 00:08

My middle name, I love it.

I think it's classic - also love Maria

HeronLanyon · 19/06/2019 00:22

Lots of pronunciations/stress differences for such a short name !
I prefer Maria or Marianne.

AshQ · 19/06/2019 00:29

I love the name Marie!

Wallabyone · 19/06/2019 00:54

I've never met a Greek Marie, plenty of Greek Maria's though! I like Marie, but like Mary even more.

CrumbsCrumbsEverywhere · 19/06/2019 01:14

I believe it means wished for child
And I like the sound. Lovely name

IHeartArya · 19/06/2019 05:51

Sorry should have clarified- Greek Marie’s in U.K. not in Greece or Cyprus. Also when I said common I mean common as in usual. Really shouldn’t post when I’m tired. Grin

neighbourhoodwitch · 19/06/2019 05:54

Love it!

Myfoolishboatisleaning · 19/06/2019 05:56

It is hands down the best name ever. It is my nan’s name. 😂 We call her Mimi.

daisypond · 19/06/2019 08:11

I like it but there are various pronunciations. I prefer Mary.
