Name for baby girl

Due a baby girl in April. We have a narrowed down list and would love some opinions on our current top two:

Marnie
Cassie

Would also welcome some other suggestions!

We have a 3 syllable surname so are leaning more towards 2 syllable first names to make sure it's not too much of a mouthful.

Thanks!

Sorry, I only really like Marnie and Cassie as nn’s (for Marina/Mariana and Cassia/Cassandra) personally.

Trying to think of other 2 syllable “ee” ending names I do like - wdytk of Sylvie? Or even though they are still quite nickname- like, I do like the sound of Callie and Romy.

I like both. Cassie short for Cassandra, and Marnie reminds me of a book I read as a child: "When Marnie was There".

Have you watched the Ghibli adaptation? It's beautiful.

I really, really dislike Marnie and can't see the attraction of the name at all.

Cassie is better by a country mile.

Cassie is the better of the 2.
