I don't know why people are saying it's chavvy?? My friend Marnie is as upper middle class as you can get!

But PP mentioned someone in Geordie Shore with the name so maybe it's due to that (I've never watched it and I'm sure many haven't! Plus I very much doubt it'll still be a thing when baby Marnie is at school...)

I know an incredibly cool and lovely one.

Loved it since I read this book at primary school:

Oooh! Long lost memory unlocked with that!

Yes

Streetsofgold · 17/06/2025 23:22

Really like it.

I don't see the attraction of Marnie at all.

Rhymes with sarny, too close to marry. It sounds like the name of a blowsy greasy spoon waitress with a huge peroxide bouffant hairdo.

ForFunGoose · 18/06/2025 00:15

Airhead name, sorry

Or Máire which is the Irish Marie. Pronounced Mawree/ Mahree I believe.

Edited

Maire is pronounced 'Moira'. Or Moya if you're from Donegal.

Marnie is my favourite girls name. DH wasn’t keen, but it’s the perfect name in my opinion.

JillyGiraffe · 18/06/2025 06:36

Just makes me think of Geordie Shore..!

MummytoBoth · 18/06/2025 06:42

Is it? How do you spell it if it’s pronounced Mahree?

user1492757084 · 18/06/2025 07:09

Not a fave.

I like a couple of women called Marnie but they are nick names.

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 18/06/2025 07:11

Absolutely but I love Hitchcock!

Mahree is sometimes a pronunciation of 'Marie', which I personally pronounce 'ma-REE'.

The Scots Gaelic name Mairi is pronounced Mahree.

The Scots Gaelic name Mairi is pronounced Mahree.

I think you'll find true Gaelic speakers pronounce it Vahree. Very confusing, I know.
