Nah, I think this is a timeless name

Yes, it's just been used so much over the years. Seriously, I must've known at least 100 Maries by now.

I think it is very sweet and it doesn't strike me as old fashioned at all.

As a middle name, no. As a first name, it's nice but definitely more dated than Maria, but seems much fresher than Mary.

No, I think as a first name it actually feels very fresh and youthful.

no.

no

Not to me. Marie too classic to ever be old fashioned, I think. It's being used by every generation across centuries. But while that saved it from being old fashioned it does, however, make it seem pretty uninspired. I prefer the Welsh/Finnish variation Mari (MAH-ree) or the Scottish Mairi (also said MAH-ree, but if you wanted a more fashionable spelling without looking like an idiot, this one is good).
