It's very pleasant as a fn, but feels more filler than Marie as a mn now. It's also like Angela in that it's a very nice name with a very nice meaning, but so many people have used it *because* of its meaning that it's lost its special meaning. Like when a symbol like a peace sign or an ankh gets very fashionable, it's no longer mysterious or powerful or deeply personal (even when it is.)
