I think it sounds like a kind of spread you put on toast... sorry. I did name a hypothetical city Marjolijn, so when I see Marjolaine I think of that, and that's not a bad association. It works with the NN Lainey if you're not pronouncing it the French way (that's the way I would pronounce it, but that's just because I speak French).

Oh my, it's Leliana's rival who wants Leliana dead. Not a good thing in my opinion.

Marjolaine is a little bit too frilly and long for my tastes. You would have to pair it with a really short and sweet name to balance it out a little bit. Lainey is quite a sweet nickname, but I would choose Jolie as a nickname.

I really like Marjolaine! I definitely prefer Margery / Marjorie, though.

Marjolaine is pronounced [mahr-zho-LEN], so the Lainey nickname makes no sense IMO.I like floral names, but I'm not sure how this would work in an English speaking context. I'd rather see Marjorie.

Ahhh. When pronounced like that, it sounds really pretty.
I'd definitely go with Jolie as a nickname instead.

Jolie would be a lovely nickname!

It looks complicated, and I wouldn't use it, but if I met one I'd think it was pretty cool.

Way too close to margarine for my liking!

And having the same name as an assassin in Dragon Age: Origins doesn't help.

Honestly, it reminds me of margarine. Sorry, but I don't like it.

I think it's too much of a mouthful. I've said it 10 times, and it still seems really awkward and forced.

I have mixed feelings about Marjolaine.One the one hand it's a cool sounding, artsy French name. Great. But on the other hand it's confusing because my eyes register, "Mary Jo Lanie." But sure, why not? Marjolaine, nn Lainey, it is.
