Love both and can't decide! Help please!

And for my own sanity please don't suggest other names I might like because I know I'll get loads of great suggestions and it's taken me months to narrow it down to these two! I don't want to lengthen the list and confuse myself even more ! Grin

Marnie!! Gorgeous name

AverageMummy · 08/07/2019 14:57

Oooh I really like both

Divgirl2 · 08/07/2019 14:58

Beatrix, I think it'll age better.

Fedoos · 08/07/2019 15:57

Definitely Beatrix (I might be biased as I have one). Marnie sounds a bit too nicknamey, IMO.

Beatrix

Marnie - love it

Fatkins · 08/07/2019 16:05

Beatrix, I think. There really isn't much in it though! Toss a coin Wink?

Butterfly005 · 08/07/2019 16:06

I like them both but Beatrix is gorgeous.

Beatrix. More scope with nn - Bea, Beattie, Trixie. Marnie already seems like a nn.

RuthW · 08/07/2019 16:23

Beatrix is lovely

I think Beatrix as it’s a good name all the way from being a baby to being elderly! Marnie is nice for a little girl though.

kittytiggy · 08/07/2019 16:58

Beatrix is much more to my taste

BlueMerchant · 08/07/2019 16:59

Marnie definitely.Smile

Marnie - Dont like the harsh sound of Beatrix

Zoobluebabypink · 08/07/2019 18:16

Beatrix
Marnie reminds me of that Geordie Shore woman

pushchairprincess · 08/07/2019 18:21

Beatrix - I love this name !! (you can do so much with it when she's older Bea, .....Trixie ..)

popcorndiva · 08/07/2019 18:27

Beatrix because when I see Marnie I think of that girl from Geordie Shore

2littleninjas · 08/07/2019 18:28

Marnie!!

Clownfish123 · 08/07/2019 18:54

I'm a bit torn on this one. Beatrix is cool but it does have a harsh sound. I love Bea or Trixie though as possible nn's.
Marnie is a bit... meh. It's neither here nor there, but it is quite a nice sound and I can imagine it growing on me. They are quite different names.

DramaAlpaca · 08/07/2019 18:56

Marnie.
