Thoughts on Marianne?

Also wondered how you’d shorten it (I known nicknames and shortenings happen naturally over time but don’t want any nasty surprises!) and middle name ideas. Currently thinking Daisy or Genevieve.

Thanks!

Marianne/Maryanne is however you spell it is a fab name.

It's a lovely name and deserves to be used in its entirety. No doubt you will end up with some crazy unrelated, family nickname anyway.

Beautiful and timeless.

Lovely name

I suppose nns would be anything you’d use for Mary or Anne so May, Molly, Polly, Nancy, Annie

Genevieve is overkill, and I don’t think Daisy goes, it’s too slight (and might come across as a bit Normal People superfan)

I think you need something quite light

Marianne is lovely. As others have said, Marianne Genevieve is a bit of a mouthful. I love Daisy - it's one of my Dad's middle names, but for me personally to go with Marianne I like the suggestion of Lucy. But if you love it then go for it!
