Marnie, Marni, Marna
I've recently come across Marnie in a novel, otherwise I'd heard about it only in association with the Hitchcock movie (which I've never seen). It's kinda of growing on me, though I'm not too keen on -ie names. I've just come across Marni as a variant, which has a lovely meaning. Otherwise there's Marna, which I kind decide if I like or not.Any thoughts on these names?

Marna is the only one that sounds like a full name to me. Marnie and Marni would make nice nns, though. Marni makes me think of Marni Nixon - wonderful singer who was the voice for Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady and Natalie Wood in West Side Story.

I like Marna the most of these. But my favorite "Mar..." name is Marina.

I love Marnie. I discovered it in ninth grade when I read a book called Marnie. It's very quiet, strong, and dark (I keep coming across those types of names on here today).I don't like Marni-- names that end in just i, legitimately or not, look too cutesy. Like you'd expect the owner to dot it with a heart.Marna is nice. I like names with that sort of sound, like Morna, Maura, etc.

Marnie - I love Marnie. It's so cute. I'd love to see a little girl called Marnie.Marni - This looks incomplete to me. I don't like this spelling at all.Marna - Don't really like this. I think it could be good to use Marna with the nn Marnie because Marna sounds more mature. I don't like Marna that much though.
