Markie is a play on my maiden name.
Opinions? … my married name is Benson. Throw out middle name suggestions if you have them! Thanks everyone!
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] could grow on me -I quite like the sounds
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
Thank you for the suggestions! [name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u] was actually the first pairing that came to my mind too.
Honestly I’m not a fan because I’d think the parents were some ocd fans of [name_f]Megan[/name_f] Markle and [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_u]Harry[/name_u].

I think it’s alright, but I don’t love it. I might give your maiden name as a middle, or go with a bigger stretch like [name_f]Mareike[/name_f] or [name_f]Marijke[/name_f] (mah-REE-kuh.)
(That being said, it’s not a bad name! It’s not my style, but that’s my own problem, not yours-- I wouldn’t be, like, appalled if I met a little girl named Markie.)

I like it as a nickname but I’m hung up on it sounding quite masculine for a legal first name. It’s reminding me of [name_m]Marky[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m].
I actually know a girl named this so it can totally work on a little girl. (She was named after her grandpa) I would go with a classically feminine middle like…
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
to me it’s too reminiscent of marky mark (who’s a bit of an awful namesake) and of biz markie to work - maybe as a middle i’d like it more, though.
I think if [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] is so trendy this can definitely work, though as with my usual style I prefer a more formal name that can be contracted to [name_u]Markie[/name_u] (I think as an adult it’s nice to have options about how familiar people are with you and your name)
[name_f]Marieke[/name_f]
Marcelline / [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] (I know the c is soft, but for a nickname I’m not sure it matters)
[name_m]Marquise[/name_m]
Markella
I love it! A similar kind of name I like is [name_u]Stevie[/name_u], and if you wanted a long form version of the name I think [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] is nice

If you love I go for it… its not my favorite buy it remind s me of [name_u]Stevie[/name_u], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], & [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] so I think it could work. I’ve met a Marquee before.

I adore the suggestion of the name [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] nn: [name_u]Markie[/name_u]
Also I think [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Raquel[/name_f] [name_m]Benson[/name_m] “Markie” would be the cutest
I love [name_u]Markie[/name_u]! It reminds me of the above poster’s comments on [name_u]Stevie[/name_u], [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]- all names I love as well. The suggestion of [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] “Markie” is really sweet but if you go standalone, I think [name_u]Markie[/name_u] [name_u]June[/name_u] is precious and would age well!
