Hi everyone,

We have narrowed down our names to 2! They are:

-Marcie
-Riva (pronounced Reeva) but not keen on that spelling

Which is your favourite? If you dont like them thats fine but no need to reply if you like neither, just want to see what people prefer out of these 2.

Thanks :)

I prefer Marcie out of your choices. I think that possibly Riva may be mispronounced as River.

Marcie

Marcie. I agree Riva could be mispronounced as River

ellenpartridge · 27/10/2020 14:21

Marcie

RainingBatsAndFrogs · 27/10/2020 14:23

Great names - but Marcie would get my vote.

InTheLongGrass · 27/10/2020 14:28

Riva, but I know one, so would probably pronounce it correctly.

TabithaMeow · 27/10/2020 14:29

Love Marcie! With Riva, I think it looks like an alternate spelling of River, so I think most people will call her River.

Riva is lovely.

Marcie is cute, but as a stand-alone name it’s a bit TOO cute. Marcella is nice.

Thank you all so far!

We love both names and cant decide. We did think about the river thing but thought diva is 'iva' so people might still sound it like that.

Marcie out of the two.

Also, WFT to above poster.

Is there anything in particular that you are getting out of randomly posting insults on Mumsnet? This is about the fourth thread I've seen you on doing similar.

Half term hi-jinks presumably. Hmm

Sunbird24 · 27/10/2020 14:35

@Jnl90 I would pronounce it the way you intended, but I’ve watched a lot of NCIS and love the name Ziva...

Whatsyourflava · 27/10/2020 14:35

Marcie is my pick

Riva I just hear River but also Riva is so synonymous with that poor woman that was allegedly murdered

MidnightFlit · 27/10/2020 14:39

Marcie is the nicer of the two, but as a diminutive of Marcella or Marceline or Marcia.

Not sure it's ideal to have to put the idea of 'it's pronounced like DIVA!' in people's minds?

Sparklehead · 27/10/2020 14:50

I love Marcie, unusual and pretty.

Ismellphantoms · 27/10/2020 15:04

I know lots of girls called Marcie. I like Riva and I don't think she'll get called River.

Katgolde · 27/10/2020 15:12

Marcie

KurriKawari · 27/10/2020 15:23

Marcie

Enko · 27/10/2020 15:24

of the 2 Marcie but I actually prefer Reeva I just don't like the Riva spelling.

JoanApple · 27/10/2020 15:55

Marcie

IckleBear · 27/10/2020 16:00

Marcie

FippertyGibbett · 27/10/2020 16:01
