Re: Marie
in reply to a message by foxglove
I actually really like Marie. It reminds me of "The Nutcracker" which I love (in different versions of it the girl is named either Clara, Marie, Mary, Maria or Maria nn Masha or Mascha). It makes me think of winter which is nice.
I wouldn't use it because I'm French/German and here it is not only THE middle name (even though I believe Sophie is more common) but also a really common first name.
However in the US I feel it is hardly used as a middle name anymore. I see Rose and Grace way more often, I feel Marie was THE middle name before circa 1990.
I like Marie as a first name. As a middle name Rosemarie is also nice. I feel like Rosemary is not really honoring her because the Marie is missing.
Suggestions:
Heidemarie
Annemarie
Evamarie
