What do you think of Marilla?

[darkemerald]

What do you think of Marilla as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

What about Marlana as an alternative - I know 2 at school and it's pretty?

Pronounced Mar-lannah obv.

For me it would always worry me that people would mishear her on the blower.

It has a LEGION of synophones.

Magilla Gorilla sprang to my mind.

Sounds like a Marmite-Vanilla flavour biscuit.
Maricela is quite pretty, though.

I think it sounds like a brand name for some sort of food.

Yeah but maricela rhymes with varicella

innit

you Just Can't Win.

In my opinion Marella is beautiful, but Marilla isn't.

marilla sounds like brand of sanitary protection.

marilla super-plus for heavy flow
