I consider it rather outdated, sort of auntie-name. I'd be really really astonished if I'd see a baby Marzena, or even a 10-year-old Marzena. It was never really popular I guess, but the most popularity it gained in 60s and 70s. And it is no longer used as a NN of Małgorzata. I think that Polish people who aren't name nerds and don't have any special interest in names, wouldn't feel any connection between them. My birth name was Małgorzata until I legally changed it to EMilia and, I guess, if someone called me Marzena as a nickname of Małgorzata, I think I'd assume he either doesn't remember my name and only knows that it was something with M, or that he confused me with someone. :D The thing I associate Marzena with the most and I guess very many Polish people as well is the word "marzenie", which means dream. But, because its "auntiness", I can't say I like it despite the association with dreams.

Synthetic marzipan? It certainly doesn't sound human.

Hi A !!!I like the Polish name Malgorzata.
It is particular and exotic but also very sweet.Marzena is a good NN but also a nice first name.
I also really like Malgosia.The problem with Marzena is the pronounciation.
I.e. I'm Italian so I would guess that it is mar-ZAY-na with "ay" like the French wovel é.Surely I am a namenerd so I know that it is Polish but I think that very few people would guess the right sound of this name.
