Love it. Reminds me of Mary Anne from the babysitters club.

I love this name and far prefer it to Marian. Marianna is also beautiful.

I love it but because I have lots of French associations with it. Marianne is the female personification of France. I also love the Leonard Cohen song.

I may be old, but I don't look a day over 28! /s

Marienne? Kind of a twist and pretty.

Did you watch that Netflix show called Marianne? I did. I can't hear the name without picturing hair, bones and teeth wrapped in skin.

Reminds me of Marianne from Normal People.

I hate the name Marianne.

My DD’s name is Marian, as in Marian the Librarian, and while people do pronounce it as “Miriam” sometimes, generally speaking, I think it suits her and people like it. I haven’t come across any other Marian’s or Marianne’s. I thought about Marianne, I love that name! I love it from “Sense and Sensibility.”

I adore it. That and Mariana.

My aunt is named Marianne and she's just started having grandchildren, so I think that's the sweet spot in terms of time. I do like the name.

I like Marian better

I don't love it.

But I do love Charlotte and Isabelle.

Ginger? Gilligan? Sorry only old people will know that reference!
