What does everyone think about naming a baby boy Marnie? Is it just for girls? Opinions 😊

I would say it's just for girls

honesttogod · 15/02/2020 19:16

It's a girls name.

LangClegsOpinionIsNoted · 15/02/2020 19:17

Girl's name. Don't.

WisestIsShe · 15/02/2020 19:17

No, don't do it.

OatcakeCravings · 15/02/2020 19:18

It’s a girls name, why would you?

YakkityYakYakYak · 15/02/2020 19:19

I definitely think of it as a girls name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/02/2020 19:20

No

Singingatmidnight · 15/02/2020 19:20

Girl's name. Barney?

Muwanian · 15/02/2020 19:20

Stuffy

Stickywhitelovepiss · 15/02/2020 19:21

Please don’t - unless you truly resent him.

Byets · 15/02/2020 19:22

Woah maybe not then was contemplating it with a different spelling like 'marni' or 'marney' 😂

Yeah it’s a girls name.

ReturnofSaturn · 15/02/2020 19:23

Good god no.

IOYOYO · 15/02/2020 19:23

Personally wouldn’t. I very much see it as a girls name.

WinterCat · 15/02/2020 19:24

I think it’s bad enough to give a boy a stereotypical girl name but infinitely worse to do so with a different spelling. Aren’t there some other names you like?

Elbeagle · 15/02/2020 19:24

Definitely a girls name. And not even a nice one.

helia · 15/02/2020 19:25

No.

Arnie/Arnold? Barney?

WhereShallWeMoveTo · 15/02/2020 19:25

Don’t be silly.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · 15/02/2020 19:25

Why do you like that name for a boy? Perhaps if you can explain that then poster can help suggest similar names that would work better for a boy. Because no matter how you spell it, Marnie isn’t a great boy’s name. Sorry!

YouOnlyLiveTwice · 15/02/2020 19:26

*posters

Marcipex · 15/02/2020 19:33

God no

maddiemookins16mum · 15/02/2020 19:34

Just call your Son a proper name and spare the poor lad years of ridicule and explanations.

Figgygal · 15/02/2020 19:35

It’s a girls name
However you spell it
Please done

TheWordmeister · 15/02/2020 19:36

Don't be daft. It's a girl's name.

percheron67 · 15/02/2020 19:36

Your child you can call him what you wish. However, Marnie is pretty dreadful for a girl and not even a boy's name. Are you a Hitchcock fan?
