Marianne

[lynniep]

but I would call her Annie (if its a girl - I dont know yet!)

go on - give it to me - I'm readly

Oh - Heated - i remember that song - i used to love that when i was a young girl!!!!!!!!

Wasn't the song Carrie Ann though?

Lovely name anyway.

I do of course realise the comma is in the wrong place, but yes it's a gorgeous song tummytickler, dh and I were singing to it only last week.

And the name is delightfully Jane Austen.

Bugger, was it? No wonder dh was grinning at me. He says there's a Tori Amos & Coldplay song of that name.

I like it. I had Maryann on my shortlist for a girl.

Love it. Any Leonard Cohen song girl is fab.

Good name, lots of variation possible. Unusual but not strange or difficult to spell. Go for it

I have a good friend who is a Marianne. She only ever gets called Marianne.
I think if you really like Annie you should just use that.

yy v good

As Tinker says

plus Marianne dreams

altogether excellent.

For Babbity

Marianne is a lovely name. I would use the full name though!

love the name Marianne
and as a n oldgoth it always makes me think of this

Sisters of Mercy Marian

DH doesnt like it Currently the only reason he can give is that its too much like Marion. Its staying on my list though. He may well change his mind. Fingers crossed!

You & me both purepurple.

It's lovely.

I like Marianne and Marianna. Very pretty.
