I love this name! It can also be a middle name and appear as the nickname! But it's okay although I don't really like it, I prefer Marie better!

This name is so sweet! I would pronounce it like the word ‘marry’. I like it better than Mary or Marie. This can also be a nickname for Marinette, Mariette, Marietta and Marina. There are quite a few reasons I like this name and here are three:
Firstly, it’s not overused and/or super common. I hate super common names as your child will be the 5 ——— in his/her class. This name is very unique.
Secondly, as a full name or as a nickname, it’s sweet. Some nicknames like Emma (for Emily and similar names), Kayla (for Makayla and similar sounding names) and Mellie (for Melissa and similar sounding names) can be a bit annoying.
Lastly, the name is short and simple, but it carries all the uniqueness you find in Chrystelle or Aleiva. Short names like Jane and Anne and Bree are plain and simple, but the uniqueness has been driven away.

This name is hideously common in Finland. It's a very boring, bland name that parents seem to have picked because they haven't felt like giving the name much thought, maybe because some of them have been less enthusiastic about parenting to begin with. This is also commonly combined with another name, usually Anne, as in Anne-Mari. It's quite plain on its own.
