prefer Marina.
I find it lovely, but it's too nickname-y for me.

HaroldMeaker · 16/06/2025 09:46

Marnie is really cool, love it.

dontcomeatme · 16/06/2025 09:46

I like it, feminine and cutesy x

MumChp · 16/06/2025 09:46

No.

PersephoneSeethes · 16/06/2025 09:47

I like it.

okydokethen · 16/06/2025 09:57

I think it’s cute and quite cool

There was a Marnie on Geordie shore, so that’s the kind of image It generates for me (not the best)

Without that it is a cute name - but I wouldn’t use it personally

I love the film and it’s a pretty name but it’s now very very trendy (it’s shot up hugely in the past 10 years and is still rising - and although the latest data hasn’t been released yet, it’s likely now in the Top 100 or very close, having had relatively minor use in the past).

If you aren’t bothered about her having a name that will likely date (and many people arent) then I say go for it. If you are worried about that, then consider a longer version with a more classic sounding name like Shakespearean Marina or Austenesque Marianne on the BC (that way you can still call her Marnie but she’s got other options).

DramaAlpaca · 16/06/2025 12:49

Yes, it's nice.

John Palmer's wife (he of Brinks Matt gold, Spanish timeshare fraud etc) was called Marnie. And the reality tv star from Georgie Shore. Depends what kind of vibe you're looking for.

Be prepared for a lot of "Marley" confusion

If you like it, use it. I would not put a different name on the birth certificate.
