At my son's school, 5th grade volunteers (about age 10-11) are used in the student drop-off to open car doors and help littler kids climb out of their vehicles. This morning a little girl helped my son; she was petite, almost waifish, with long, light brown hair down to her waist. As another student passed them, I heard him call out "Hi, Marian!"

It really is a pretty name, and it suited her so well; she looked like she could easily play Maid Marian. I think it could make a comeback, and I'll be delighted if it does. I slightly prefer the Marion spelling, but I think Marian is more likely.
