Marie Alternative?

Hi! What are some interesting alternatives to [name_u]Marie[/name_u]? Whether if it’s a variant or just begins with [name_f]Mar[/name_f]- or [name_f]Mari[/name_f]- .

No [name_f]Mary[/name_f] or [name_u]Maria[/name_u]. I like Maristella/Maristela but I don’t love it. I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] too.

I love their relation to the stars and the sea.

What do you think of [name_f]Maren[/name_f]? Too boring?

One recent thing that I saw in [name_f]Elena[/name_f]’s user card was [name_f]Mariae[/name_f]! Also in loooove with [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]!

[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] and [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] come to mind

I like [name_f]Maren[/name_f]/Marin. I don’t think it’s boring at all.
What about…
[name_f]Marais[/name_f] (Ma - ray)
[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Merrill[/name_u]/Meryl
[name_f]Mara[/name_f]

I don’t think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] boring : )
The only other ones I could think of are

[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f]
Esmeray

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Mariana[/name_f], [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] (butterfly in spanish :wink: ) , [name_f]Marcella[/name_f], [name_f]Mariella[/name_f], [name_f]Mariae[/name_f] (MAR-ee-ay - this is actually on my list as an honor for [name_u]Maria[/name_u])

I like [name_f]Mariam[/name_f], it’s actually in my top 5

What about [name_f]Maris[/name_f]?

Merrin seems a bit bouncier than the more staid [name_f]Maren[/name_f].
[name_f]Maris[/name_f] is an interesting variation.

Some well known variants are:
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]-[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Marlene[/name_f]
[name_f]Marissa[/name_f]

Some lesser known variants are:
[name_f]Martina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariella[/name_f]
[name_f]Marine[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariska[/name_f]

Maren is a sweet name and a good way to honour [name_u]Marie[/name_u].

Thank you for all of the replies!!! :blush:

I really love the majority of the suggestions, but I think [name_f]Mariae[/name_f] and [name_f]Maris[/name_f] fit what I’m looking for the most.

Also thank you for your opinions on [name_f]Maren[/name_f]!

I decided that I really want something that reminds me of the the sea, mermaids, or feels oceanesque or stormy/witchy.

I think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is cool and not boring at all!

I would suggest [name_f]Marise[/name_f]/Maryse (a [name_u]French[/name_u] variation of [name_u]Marie[/name_u], pronounced mar-eez).

[name_f]Marina[/name_f] is beautiful, I’ve never heard that one!

I also love the vibe you’re going for:

Yessss I love it!

[name_f]Arielle[/name_f]
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u]
[name_f]Cascade[/name_f] or Cascadia
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Mayim[/name_f]
[name_f]Moana[/name_f]
[name_f]Narelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Nyla[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Zarya[/name_f]
