[quote=Anonymous]As a female name, Marian is the English/feminine variant of Marion, which is a female derivative of Mary/Marie. Marion is a unisex name with different origins as a male name (from Marius). Marianne is a combination of Mary and Anne, and a totally separate name. I like Marian best, but it will probably get misspelled as Marion sometimes. But Marianne also has a number of spellings, so I think all of your choices will result in misspelling. I have a non-standard spelling of a common name and find it INCREDIBLY annoying, but mine is almost universally spelled one way (think Rebecca vs. Rebekah), so perhaps people would pay closer attention since there's no one standard way to spell Marian or Marianne.
