[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Happy to hear many of you like the name!! It’s bolder than we prefer, but we have a very common last name so would prefer DD to not be Charlotte S. or Isabelle S. How would you pronounce Marianne? We’d like to pronounce it mah-ri-ANNE and not like Mary-Anne. Is this intuitive?[/quote] Mary and Anne are two of the most popular names in Christendom, so I don’t see how Marianne is “bold.” But anyway. I do think you will get a lot of Mary-Anne pronunciations. I get that you want it to be Mah-ri-ANNE as in “Sense in Sensibility,” but keep in mind every time you hear Emma Thompson say that name, she’s not only British, she’s playing a character from the 1800s. You will not get the “running together” sound you are looking for in the United States in 2024. You will get Mary Anne. [/quote] I don’t think so. You’ll get the running together. But the first syllable will be pronounced like Mary, not Mah-ri. [/quote]
