I don't find it particularly pretty, but it seems more vintage than outdated to me. I might be biased because I know someone with this name.

I don't like the name (or Maureen, for that matter) but wdyt about Marine?

I can't see the point of not using the Maureen spelling. It's dated, but not seriously so. More like vintage.

I prefer Maureen, it's too dated

I think names like Maureen will be coming back into style soon. If you used it now it would be ahead of the trends!

Maurine is an interesting spelling variation, I've not seen that one before.

It's definitely not in style, hasn't been for a very long time. I only ever knew two and one was a very old lady when I met her and is surely gone now. The other is probably five years older than me.

In sound and rhythm it's not in style, but it is Irish and Irish names are generally in style now, like Liam and Aiden and all the Caitlin variations. And it's soft, like Mia and Aria.
So I think it is still redeemable. It's kind of got a sad feel to it, I don't know why.

Spelt like that, it looks like a mineral or chemical - chlorine, taurine etc.

I think Maureen is very "grandmotherly". I prefer Moreen

I think it's a good name, sweet but strong, and suitable for any age. I do prefer the spelling Maureen, though.
