Marcie...?

We have a baby girl on the way and DH really loves it. I love it too even though sometimes I think it sounds a little bit twee?

Please suggest other names similar to this and a middle name that goes with it. I can't seem to find anything that goes with it😩

Thanks 😊

But not Marcia, it sounds like Marsha which is awful .

It's pronounced as the prettier "Mar -see -ah" in some languages - I think "Marsha" just became more the go to in English speaking countries because of the The Brady Brunch TV programme/films Grin.

To be honest since Marcia is rarely used for more than 15 -20 girls in the UK each year, I think OP could easily choose which pronunciation she preferred and people would use it - it's like "Mar - chell- ah" vs "Mar -sell -ah" for Marcella.

Btw OP Marcie is rapidly increasing in popularity (I think people are looking for the new Marnie/Darcy), so baring that in mind, if you use Marcie as a given name I'd pair it with a "classic" sounding name as middle - Elizabeth, Alice, Charlotte, Isabel, Eleanor, Emma, Beatrice, Imogen, Catherine, Laura, Sarah, Julia, Lydia etc

Marnie

I love Marcella! Marceline makes me think vampire queen (from Adventure Time). Marcie on its own sounds a bit unfinished and I think does risk getting mixed up with the more popular Darcy so having it as a nickname is better.

I like it!

Maybe Masie, Marsha, Macy, or Mazie if you don't like Marcie.
