I’m unsure if we’re having a boy or girl, but have had the name Marianne stuck in my head for weeks now. My husband is on board (he’s a huge Leonard Cohen fan) and I think I love it. Please share your opinions on it!

I think it's a gorgeous name, one of my favourites.

Now so long, Marianne
It's time that we began to laugh
And cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Love it! Also big Cohen fan.

I think it's a lovely name. I slightly prefer Mary-Ann, but I know some aren't keen on hyphens.

TrollsAreSaddos · 26/10/2021 23:07

I LOVE that name.

parttimemary · 26/10/2021 23:09

I love it

Heruka · 26/10/2021 23:09

I think it’s lovely, and currently calls to mind images of the character Marianne on Normal People on Netflix, who is very beautiful.

Although it does remind of the book "Marianne Dreams" which I found quite creepy. Not enough to put me off it though!

TeeBee · 26/10/2021 23:11

Gorgeous!

pastaparadise · 26/10/2021 23:11

Also love it - Leonard Cohen and sisters of mercy fan. But ended up having days!

seriousandloyal · 26/10/2021 23:43

Really lovely name

WhistlersandJugglers · 26/10/2021 23:45

Beautiful and timeless.

bloominglovelyorange · 27/10/2021 07:09

Love it

SaltySheepdog · 27/10/2021 07:12

I’m not keen. For me it’s similar to Caroline. Bit out dated but not old lady chic

TheWayTheLightFalls · 27/10/2021 07:17

Love it! Marianne and Marianna.

RuthW · 27/10/2021 07:19

Lovely

BeKindBeYou · 27/10/2021 07:43

I love it!!!

Lolly86 · 27/10/2021 07:45

Love it...also reminds me of Marianne Dreams...loved the book when I was a kid

Guineapiggiesmalls · 27/10/2021 08:18

Thank you, lots of thumbs up it seems!

@saltysheepdog oddly Caroline is also on my list. I’m absolutely not a fan of ‘old lady chic’ names, so happy that you agree it’s not one of those Grin
