Sounds a little dated to me but not bad. I think Maren sounds a bit dated too, but less so than Maris. I want to like them because of the meaning but idk... I've never met a Maris; I have met a young (born in the 90s) Maren but I thought the name sounded too old for her.If the first syllable rhymed with bar instead of mare I would definitely like both names, but in my accent it's like "mare" and that's what makes them sound dated IMO.

I kind of like the sound but like Anneza my first thought was the Maris Piper potato so I'm not sure it would work here.

I like Maris quite a bit - it's one of those "Mary names" you don't see very often. It functions particularly well as a middle name, imo; Julia Maris used to be a stock combo of mine.

I quite like it. I like Maren a bit more, but Maris is lovely.

I feel like I should like it, but I don't. I wish I liked it, because I like the meaning.

Likely will be a top contender if I ever have a daughter

A nice name. I love its meaning.

I like Maris, along with Mara and Maren. Maris is ice-cool, sophisticated, underused.

Ick the -is ending. Can't stand. Like Maren though!

I really hate some names that end in the "is" sound, such as Phyllis and Eunice, but I love others, such as Carys and Candice. For me, it's all in the first (plus second or third, if existent) syllable.

Maren is nice. I like both.
