Beautiful! Also like Mariana.

Pantheon · 08/05/2020 18:23

I think it's a nice name. I've always liked Marielle too.

Dhalandchips · 08/05/2020 18:23

I love it. Beautiful Leonard Cohen song

Youngatheart00 · 08/05/2020 18:25

Have you been watching Normal People?!

Lilysharp · 08/05/2020 18:25

I have always liked it too because of the Leonard Cohen song...also the song by Iron & Wine

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 08/05/2020 18:27

I don’t watch Normal People or listen to Leonard Cohen 😂

Like it. One in the school I work at who is confident and likeable. It's a mix of simple and interesting.

WitchDancer · 08/05/2020 18:36

Love it, but can you live with it being shortened to Maz?

notangelinajolie · 08/05/2020 18:36

I like it.

OhTheRoses · 08/05/2020 18:38

One of the nicest women I know is called Marianne.

Shmithecat2 · 08/05/2020 18:39

Love it.

Whatsyourflava · 08/05/2020 18:39

Love

seriousandloyal · 08/05/2020 18:45

Adore this name!

Edenember · 08/05/2020 19:14

@PawPatrolMakesMeDrink pretty and everyone knows it but not common.

Chinesetakeawaay · 08/05/2020 20:39

I think it's lovely. It was almost dd's name but we chose something else in the end. There's a Marianne at her school though which is strange as it's pretty uncommon.

ANoiseAnnoys · 08/05/2020 20:41

I LOVE it. And Marianne Faithfull was/is super super cool. (Uber rock chick, 60’s beatnik babe/it girl and mick jaggers girlfriend for those who don’t know her)!

peperethecat · 08/05/2020 20:41

I like it a lot.

Orphlids · 08/05/2020 20:47

Absolutely love it. I am a big Cohen fan though. Like PPs have said, everyone knows it the name, but it’s really unusual. Hardly any babies named Marianne in recent years. I would choose it, but our surname ends with an ‘an’ so it doesn’t work.

DramaAlpaca · 08/05/2020 20:48

It's one of my favourite names.

helpmum2003 · 08/05/2020 20:49

Love it.

lucialou · 08/05/2020 20:51

It’s nice, the marianne I know often gets ‘Annie’ as a nickname which I like as well.

PawPatrolMakesMeDrink · 08/05/2020 21:01

Well. I think that the name chosen if babe is a girl!
Thank you all!

Did you just watch normal people, OP? As I hadn't heard it in ages before watching that. I did ponder over if I liked it, still can't decide. It's certainly not a bad name.

Sunny345H · 08/05/2020 21:07

Don't love it but its nice. I prefer Mariona

Thefaceofboe · 08/05/2020 21:23

I automatically presumed you’d watched normal people too. I find it a bit boring tbh
