HelpRe: Marlena or Marcella?
in reply to a message by humblebee
Marlena.
If I had to describe them, I'd say Marlena is the wicked witch-queen you can't help liking, and Marcella is the princess who's theoretically the main character but is either too prissy or too much of a Mary Sue to be likable.
ETA: I like mar-LAY-na best, or mar-LENN-a, but I don't like mar-LEE-na.
ETA again: If you use mar-LAY-na, a nickname can be Lena, which is awesome because it fits with the whole name but has a totally different vibe at the same time. Lena is more like a sweet little girl name, although it fits all ages well.
