Marnie Claire

Thoughts?

I'd think you liked the magazine but couldn't read/spell.

Well, I dislike Marnie - for some reason sounds very whiney.

Thing is IMHO, they don't flow together at all. The syllables clash and bump into each other.

For want of a better description.

Is this first and middle names or a first name of two parts?

I like it

Sounds like sarnie

Well I don't mind it. Not my favourite names but certainly not worthy of the scorn on here

I like Marie-Claire (and spelling variants!).

Like PP I’m not keen on Marnie though. And having it so similar to a very well known name just sounds a little odd.

Such a whiny sounding name

Marnie is awful.

People will think you meant Marie-Claire.

Claire is middle name

Marnie is a name whose appeal I cannot understand.

Marie Claire is infinitely nicer.

I don't like it at all.

I have no love at all for the name Marnie. I just see Marie, but with a mistaken extra N thrown in - sorry!

Claire is lovely as a first or middle name.

I think Marnie is a lovely name. It feels gentle, and timeless.

I think Marnie is cute. Clare is very 80’s are you using it for sentimental reasons?

Marnie is the name of the lead female character in an Alfred Hitchcock film.
She killed a man when she was young: now adult she’s a thief.

I’m sure I wouldn’t want to name a child after that character.

In the film Marnie is short for Margaret.

My sister’s 6y old is called Marnie.

Marnie is a weird name, not pretty, not strong, not striking. It makes me think of the character from Girls (awful) and lily allen (also awful)

I like Marnie but I only like Claire if pronounced with a rhotic accent otherwise it’s a bit bleurgh.

It's also the ghost girl in "When Marnie was there", quite a haunting story (literally). Her name was Marian.

I don't know what people are on about. Marnie is a perfectly nice name what is 'whiny' about it FGS? I also love Claire although sheep like people will automatically say 'dated' as it was so popular in the 60s, 70s and 80s. But so what if it was? It's a lovely name. I prefer it to the currently popular version 'Clara'. Anyway it's only a middle.

The whole name flows fine, and again Claire is a middle name so you won't often be saying the two names together, therefore it won't be mixed up with Marie-Claire. Obviously. Jeez.

Marnie is ok and doesn't sound whiny. Middle names aren't used much anyway but together it does look like Marie Claire.
Clare is fine but I don't like Clara.

A thought, why not spell it Clare instead of Claire? Might stop the 'Marie-Claire' moaners.

I actually always preferred the 'Clare' spelling which is slightly more unusual. Marnie Clare works.

@Pemba , it will still look like Marie Claire.
I prefer the Clare spelling.
