I like it. My best friend at primary school in the 70s was called Marnie.

I'm not keen on it, certainly not as a standalone name. It's also pretty tied to the 70s.

Lovely name, unusual without being weird. I know a 13yo Marnie and it suits her so well.

Is it short for something?

Hi, this caught my eye as I like the Hitchcock film...but I don't think it's a good name for a baby! The Marnie in the film was sexually abused as a child (her mum was a prostitute), kills one of her mothers clients by accident, grows up to be a thief, then gets raped by Sean Connery in the film. It's a bit like those people who call their daughter Lolita..

Don't like it, in my slightly run down town it's 10 a penny, short for Armani, absolutly dreadful name in my opinion and hundreds of little Marnis running around.

Well I love it.

I think of a frosty Hitchcock blonde (weren't they all) and a book I read as a child 'When Marnie Was There'.

I like it. Lots of people haven't seen or know the Hitchcock film so I wouldn't worry about any associations with that.

I think its unusual without being weird and also I don't really have any preconceptions about it. I think it doesn't come with a set type of person, could suit anyone. I would definitely keep it has Marnie not Marni though.
