A friend of mine has a sister named Marnie. My friend told me that her mother named her sister that because her (the mother's) name is Marguerite, and her husband's name was Ernie, and Marnie was combining the first syllable of her name with the last syllable of her husband's.
I think Marnie is rather cute, but it sounds nicknamey. I'm not saying it is a nickname, just that it sounds that way. I'm no good at coming up with middle names, sorry.
