I much prefer Marceline. It flows better, and avoids the icky -cella ending. Marcella sounds villainous and contagious. I wouldn't be surprised to see it on a Disney villain or an newly discovered virus.

---

Personality wise, Marceline sounds quiet, pretty, and artistic. I wouldn't use a nickname, but if I had to choose, I'd use Ellie. Marcie sounds dated, Celine is its own name, and Ella is too trendy.

---

Marceline still wins out over Marguerite and Marcelina. Marcelina is too flowery, and I just don't care for Margaret or any of its variations.

I love both, but I prefer the sleekness of Marceline.

---

I don't really associate names with personalities...

---

I don't care for any of those nicknames, though Marcie is cute.

---

Marguerite's one of my favorite names, so I prefer it to Marcella and Marcelline.

I like Marceline. I think it sounds something like...elegant, spirited, sweet.

---

I like Marcella, too, but right now it's mostly just making me think of a bitter 1960s housewife.

---

Marcella maybe also seems louder/brighter to me while Marceline seems softer/subtler.

---

I feel like Ellie is too much of a stretch, and I like Ella but only as a NN for Marcella. I prefer Marceline on its own, but I think I'd pick Celine over Marcie.

---

In order of preference:

---

1. Marceline
2. Marguerite
3. Marcella
4. Marcelina

I like Marcella much more than Marceline. It feels more elegant. Marceline is a little stilted imo.

---

I don't like Marcie at all as a nickname, but the rest are fine.

I much prefer Marcella on rhythm alone. I don't enjoy Marcelina at all, and Marguerite ranks far below Margaret in my mind.

---

Marcelle and Marcella have much the same vibe to me: artistically talented, frighteningly bright, excellent company.

---

I don't think a nn is needed; if it is, I might use Cell but only at gunpoint.

I love Marceline and hate Marcella. Marceline seems very elegant and refined. Marcella has a frumpy vibe to me (I really dislike Ella and most of the 'El' names; that's probably why).

---

I don't think every name has to be shortened and I wouldn't shorten Marceline. I definitely wouldn't use Marcie, Ella or Ellie because they're not to my taste. Celine I think would be a stretch. Em or Mimi maybe

---

eta I don't like Marcela either. Coming round to Marguerite, but prefer Margarita (it doesn't bother me that there's a cocktail named for it)

Marceline! I think it's cute, there is something old fashioned and sweet about it. Marcella and Marcela are a bit harsh and cold. Marceline is nicer. Ella and Ellie don't work as nicknames for these two names, in my opinion. They are too much of a stretch. Celine works well on its own so I would just use that, if you want to call her Celine. So I pick Marcie, but prefer the full name. I prefer Marguerite over Marcella and Marcelina. I like Marguerite and Marceline about the same.

Hi !!!

---

I prefer Marceline !!
Unusual but sweet.

---

Marcella has an horrible sound and it is so dated.

---

Marceline 'Céline' is lovely!!!

---

Bonus q. Between Marcelina and Marguerite I choose Marguerite. It has a regal vibe although it seems quite dated.
