HelpRe: Maren
in reply to a message by vigdis
If I'm pronouncing it correctly, it sounds a bit pretentious. Like Sophia LOREN, but with an M? Is that right?

Maren, to rhyme with Karen. We met once recently and Alexander liked the name. Apparently it's the Bessie of Norway, at least according to the comment section.

The Bessie of Norway? Wha?

Check the comment section on Maren. It's called a dumb milkmaid name

Well, since I don't have an image of a dumb milkmaid to go on, I'll have to take their word for it. Maybe it's just seen differently in Norway.

It just cracked me up.
I love the comment section.

Yeah, it's an endless source of entertainment. One of my favorite comments about my own name is that it sounds like "rage hell". When I read that I was like, "Dude, I never would have thought of that, EVER." :)

I know somebody with a granddaughter named Maren...
And they say it like Karen or Sharon with an m. Which also sounds pretentious to me but not like if it was pronounced like Sophia Loren's last name. More like a fantasy-YA version of Mary.

Hmm...if it's pronounced like Karen or Sharon with an M, then it kind of reminds me of bone marrow. :/
Either way, I'm just not digging it. It's okay , but it's a nothing name. It just sits there.

it's just spineless...
I've noticed that about a lot of Mary variations. They just seem so weak and watery. Molly, Minnie, Miriam, marian to some extent, Maureen, Marilyn, Maren. About the only Mary variations I can think of offhand that dont' strike me as weak are Maria and Marina.

I like all of those names EXCEPT for Maria and Maren. Our opinions, they differ.
