I've recently met a lovely litlle girl called Marla. It's a name I've not heard before.

I really am very fond of it.

Thoughts?

Marla Singer from Fight Club (Helena Bonham Carter) she was more than a little weird. I'm not sure if I dislike or like though (not much help here!).

we have a Marta in the family which I love

not heard of Marla but it doesn't offend me

Marla Maples (one of the Mrs Donald Trumps). It screams says hairspray and helmet hair 80s to me.

I know two Mellas

preggersplayspop · 03/01/2010 05:49

I know a Mala, I think its a pretty name.

I immediately thought of Marla Maples, but if I blank that image from my mind, it's actually a very pretty name.

I think I like it. I certainly don't know any.

bellissima · 03/01/2010 08:33

Yep Marla Maples.

DitaVonCheese · 03/01/2010 11:28

I love it. Could be short for Marlena. I am a Palahniuk fan though

ScottishBoris · 03/01/2010 17:13

off topic - me too Dita, read a book of his short stories a couple of months ago (after really enjoying Fight Club) and was impresses and disgusted in equal measures . Keep meaning to see what others are available - any suggestions?

Jamieandhismagictorch · 03/01/2010 17:13

I like it.

I also like Carla

DitaVonCheese · 03/01/2010 20:33

Boris Fight Club is still far and away my favourite, but the rest are good too (though haven't read Pygmy yet). Would recommend Invisible Monsters, Snuff, Choke or Survivor, but have enjoyed/been hopelessly addicted to all of them

Sorry OP!

ScottishBoris · 03/01/2010 20:46

Excellent - I have a Waterstones voucher from Santa and will have a look for those tomorrow!

Apologies too to the OP

Love it. Is on my list for my imaginary baby girl! Never heard of Marla Maples... have seen Fight Club, but that wouldn't bother me.

mummyloveslucy · 04/01/2010 18:08

Love it, very pretty.

BikeRunSnowflake · 05/01/2010 21:20

One of my best friends is Marla, so vvvv positive name for me; also lovely name. Have never seen Fight Club.

My daughter is called Marla and she is now 3 - she suits the name perfectly and I'm so glad we called her that! Love it. Unique without being too strange....just like our Marla.
