Marie

Hello berries!

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_f]Marie[/name_f] and it has run in the family forever. I never really gave it a thought to use as a first name, but have recently discovered how rich it is with literary ([name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]), scientific and cultural meanings. [name_u]Corey[/name_u] is a very special name for us and my DH and I would like to somehow honor both names if we could. Pregnant but not sure what the gender is, but want to plan for a girl name.

[name_f]My[/name_f] other favorite name is [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. A friend recently named her daughter [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and my sister’s daughter is [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], so using it as a first name is out. But I thought about pairing it with [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

So, what do you think of these combinations:

[name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u] ___________ (we have a two syllable last name that rhymes with strom) nn [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u] ___________ nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

Thank you! [name_f]My[/name_f] DD is named [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and have received helpful feedback about sibling names, I just hadn’t thought of [name_f]Marie[/name_f] until recently!

[name_f]My[/name_f] middle name is [name_f]Maree[/name_f] too!

I love [name_f]Marie[/name_f] as a first name! But, I also love [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. Sorry, no help here.

I love [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is sweet and unexpected as a first name. [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u] kind of reminds me of [name_f]Marie[/name_f] Curie, which I think is a good thing :). I’m not a big fan of hypenate names.

There’s always the option of [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u] or [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] if you’re into two middles.

I love [name_f]Marie[/name_f] as a first name! [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is my middle name (a family name also), and I’ve always loved it and wished it was my first. It’s on my list if I ever have a daughter. [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Corey[/name_u] is a cute name, I love it! [name_f]Olive[/name_f] & [name_f]Marie[/name_f] are really cute together too.
